Buddybuild vs Docker: What are the differences?
Developers describe Buddybuild as "A continuous integration, continuous deployment and user feedback platform for iOS and Android development teams". Buddybuild ties together continuous integration, continuous delivery and an iterative feedback solution into a single, seamless platform. On the other hand, Docker is detailed as "Enterprise Container Platform for High-Velocity Innovation". The Docker Platform is the industry-leading container platform for continuous, high-velocity innovation, enabling organizations to seamlessly build and share any application — from legacy to what comes next — and securely run them anywhere.
Buddybuild can be classified as a tool in the "Mobile Continuous Integration" category, while Docker is grouped under "Virtual Machine Platforms & Containers".
Some of the features offered by Buddybuild are:
- Frictionless Setup: set up a comprehensive CI system for your iOS and Android apps in just minutes.
- Customizable Workflow: use and extend buddybuild to meet the needs of your mobile development workflow.
- Test with Confidence: maintain and improve the quality of your code base with automated Unit and UI testing
On the other hand, Docker provides the following key features:
- Integrated developer tools
- open, portable images
- shareable, reusable apps
"Easy setup" is the primary reason why developers consider Buddybuild over the competitors, whereas "Rapid integration and build up" was stated as the key factor in picking Docker.
Docker is an open source tool with 54K GitHub stars and 15.6K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Docker's open source repository on GitHub.
Spotify, Pinterest, and Twitter are some of the popular companies that use Docker, whereas Buddybuild is used by Hilenium, Perch, and Getaway GmbH. Docker has a broader approval, being mentioned in 3527 company stacks & 3449 developers stacks; compared to Buddybuild, which is listed in 18 company stacks and 3 developer stacks.
lxd/lxc and Docker aren't congruent so this comparison needs a more detailed look; but in short I can say: the lxd-integrated administration of storage including zfs with its snapshot capabilities as well as the system container (multi-process) approach of lxc vs. the limited single-process container approach of Docker is the main reason I chose lxd over Docker.
