LayerCI vs Buildbot: What are the differences?
LayerCI: CI that’s faster, easier and shareable as demo environments. Turn your CI pipelines into instant demo environments per commit.We take memory snapshots of your CI pipelines to turn them into hyper-efficient lambdas & demo environments; Buildbot: Python-based continuous integration testing framework. BuildBot is a system to automate the compile/test cycle required by most software projects to validate code changes. By automatically rebuilding and testing the tree each time something has changed, build problems are pinpointed quickly, before other developers are inconvenienced by the failure.
LayerCI and Buildbot can be primarily classified as "Continuous Integration" tools.
Some of the features offered by LayerCI are:
- Start your whole stack in seconds
- Automatic demo environments
- Speed without needing Docker
On the other hand, Buildbot provides the following key features:
- run builds on a variety of slave platforms
- arbitrary build process: handles projects using C, Python, whatever
- minimal host requirements: Python and Twisted
Buildbot is an open source tool with 4.42K GitHub stars and 1.48K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Buildbot's open source repository on GitHub.
