How to choose the best CI/CD solution for your needs
The time you invest in finding out the right set of tools is worth it. It can help your business move faster in ways that were not possible before. I recommend three factors that you should consider.
Integration with existing tools
It is not only about the software that end users would consume. Countless others might be in use already for things such as task management, paging, notifications, testing, and so on.
Ideally, the CI/CD tool should offer pre-built integrations so that you don’t have to invest time in writing glue code. When readymade integrations are leveraged, it leads to easier operations and spares you time that can be used for business differentiators. Disjoint processes lead to additional overheads around switching from one tool to another and dependency on manual steps affects agility.
When operating in the cloud, you can also think of gradually replacing the other solutions with cloud-native ones...
