Ansible is an IT automation tool. It can configure systems, deploy software, and orchestrate more advanced IT tasks such as continuous deployments or zero downtime rolling updates. Ansible’s goals are foremost those of simplicity and maximum ease of use.

Terraform

With Terraform, you describe your complete infrastructure as code, even as it spans multiple service providers. Your servers may come from AWS, your DNS may come from CloudFlare, and your database may come from Heroku. Terraform will build all these resources across all these providers in parallel.

Dotenv

It is a zero-dependency module that loads environment variables from a .env file into process.env. Storing configuration in the environment separate from code is based on The Twelve-Factor App methodology.

Chef enables you to manage and scale cloud infrastructure with no downtime or interruptions. Freely move applications and configurations from one cloud to another. Chef is integrated with all major cloud providers including Amazon EC2, VMWare, IBM Smartcloud, Rackspace, OpenStack, Windows Azure, HP Cloud, Google Compute Engine, Joyent Cloud and others.

I use Buddy because it's very easy to get started with. The modern UI allows for an easy overview of your projects and pipelines making it a joy to work with. Buddy allows me to focus and really work on the products we're creating and not worry about the small tasks that tend to take up a lot of your time. In short, it's a timesaver and it's very cost-efficient to start with!

I use Buddy because: - It is both simple and complex, modern UI, - ideal for many languages, platforms and various projects - a great plus: nice live chat support (helped me couple of times already - better than surfing the web and looking for solutions). - new features added regularly - and it just works!

I use Buddy because the price was reasonable, the user interface was much more attractive and intuitive, and the pipeline "plugin" approach suited my needs than other services like Jenkins. I have used Buddy for simple Dev Ops processes like running basic SHELL commands within an application to a full scale application deployment with unit testing. I have even been able to use Buddy to deploy applications to other hosting services like Fortrabbit and Heroku.

I use Buddy because I don't have time to do things manually as I did a decade ago. I have more work, more clients, more responsibilities because Buddy takes out the wasted time doing manual tasks. Don't work like its 2008. Work like its 3018!

We use Buddy because it's extremely easy to start working with, because of the powerful GUI which let you configure pipeline in minutes, but also let you switch to the YAML based pipeline, and have full control over your pipeline and deploy cycle. I also appreciate the support by the Buddy team, they are an extraordinary focused team, which are able to act and think as a developer, and this is extremely important!

I use Buddy because it has awesome GUI and integration. You don't need to be DevOps expert or know YML and stuffs to set up your CI/CD pipeline. One of the best UI/UX I have found on any developer tools products.
