Codeship vs GitLab CI: What are the differences?
Developers describe Codeship as "A Continuous Integration Platform in the cloud". Codeship runs your automated tests and configured deployment when you push to your repository. It takes care of managing and scaling the infrastructure so that you are able to test and release more frequently and get faster feedback for building the product your users need. On the other hand, GitLab CI is detailed as "GitLab integrated CI to test, build and deploy your code". GitLab offers a continuous integration service. If you add a .gitlab-ci.yml file to the root directory of your repository, and configure your GitLab project to use a Runner, then each merge request or push triggers your CI pipeline.
Codeship and GitLab CI can be categorized as "Continuous Integration" tools.
"Simple deployments" is the top reason why over 214 developers like Codeship, while over 16 developers mention "Robust CI with awesome Docker support" as the leading cause for choosing GitLab CI.
According to the StackShare community, Codeship has a broader approval, being mentioned in 277 company stacks & 82 developers stacks; compared to GitLab CI, which is listed in 210 company stacks and 93 developer stacks.
