Detailed Comparison

Codefresh
Codefresh
Buildpacks
Buildpacks

Automate and parallelize testing. Codefresh allows teams to spin up on-demand compositions to run unit and integration tests as part of the continuous integration process. Jenkins integration allows more complex pipelines.

Transform your application source code into images that can run on any cloud. Cloud Native Buildpacks embrace modern container standards, such as the OCI image format. They take advantage of the latest capabilities of these standards, such as cross-repository blob mounting and image layer "rebasing" on Docker API v2 registries.

Instant Dev, test and feature preview environments: Enables all team members to run any image as a standalone or composition for feature preview, manual testing, bug reproduction and more. Collaborate on features before pushing them into staging and production.; Testing with every step: Configure your pipeline to run integration and unit tests with every step; Instantly test all code changes in the Codefresh build system before pushing to staging & production. Run integration, unit tests in parallel.; 360° view of Docker images: View commit info, test results and build logs for all images; Manage Docker image labels and status, comment and see new feature branches; search and filter based on any attribute.; Out-of-the-box Docker buildpack for all technologies: Seamlessly package your code in a Docker image. Quickly associate a Dockerfile with your repo by selecting the repository technology stack (Java, Node, PHP, etc.). Codefresh then adds a template for Dockerizing apps.; View and Access Running Container Logs: Access each container log directly from within the Codefresh platform. This lets you easily perform root-cause analysis on failed services and allows you to see logs in high debug model level.; Support for Docker Compose 1 & 2: Manage your Docker Compose file natively in one place, with support for both Docker Compose versions 1 and 2. Use a built-in wizard to write Docker Compose files quickly.; YAML file support: Customize and easily define your pipeline steps using a codefresh.yml file.

What are some alternatives to Codefresh, Buildpacks?

Heroku

Heroku

Heroku is a cloud application platform – a new way of building and deploying web apps. Heroku lets app developers spend 100% of their time on their application code, not managing servers, deployment, ongoing operations, or scaling.

Clever Cloud

Clever Cloud

Clever Cloud is a polyglot cloud application platform. The service helps developers to build applications with many languages and services, with auto-scaling features and a true pay-as-you-go pricing model.

Kubernetes

Kubernetes

Kubernetes is an open source orchestration system for Docker containers. It handles scheduling onto nodes in a compute cluster and actively manages workloads to ensure that their state matches the users declared intentions.

Rancher

Rancher

Rancher is an open source container management platform that includes full distributions of Kubernetes, Apache Mesos and Docker Swarm, and makes it simple to operate container clusters on any cloud or infrastructure platform.

Google App Engine

Google App Engine

Google has a reputation for highly reliable, high performance infrastructure. With App Engine you can take advantage of the 10 years of knowledge Google has in running massively scalable, performance driven systems. App Engine applications are easy to build, easy to maintain, and easy to scale as your traffic and data storage needs grow.

Red Hat OpenShift

Red Hat OpenShift

OpenShift is Red Hat's Cloud Computing Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering. OpenShift is an application platform in the cloud where application developers and teams can build, test, deploy, and run their applications.

Docker Compose

Docker Compose

With Compose, you define a multi-container application in a single file, then spin your application up in a single command which does everything that needs to be done to get it running.

Docker Swarm

Docker Swarm

Swarm serves the standard Docker API, so any tool which already communicates with a Docker daemon can use Swarm to transparently scale to multiple hosts: Dokku, Compose, Krane, Deis, DockerUI, Shipyard, Drone, Jenkins... and, of course, the Docker client itself.

AWS Elastic Beanstalk

AWS Elastic Beanstalk

Once you upload your application, Elastic Beanstalk automatically handles the deployment details of capacity provisioning, load balancing, auto-scaling, and application health monitoring.

Tutum

Tutum

Tutum lets developers easily manage and run lightweight, portable, self-sufficient containers from any application. AWS-like control, Heroku-like ease. The same container that a developer builds and tests on a laptop can run at scale in Tutum.
