Codeship vs Concourse: What are the differences?

What is Codeship? 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.

What is Concourse? Pipeline-based CI system written in Go. Concourse's principles reduce the risk of switching to and from Concourse, by encouraging practices that decouple your project from your CI's little details, and keeping all configuration in declarative files that can be checked into version control.

Codeship and Concourse can be categorized as "Continuous Integration" tools.

"Simple deployments" is the top reason why over 214 developers like Codeship, while over 8 developers mention "Real pipelines" as the leading cause for choosing Concourse.

Concourse is an open source tool with 3.92K GitHub stars and 472 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Concourse's open source repository on GitHub.

According to the StackShare community, Codeship has a broader approval, being mentioned in 278 company stacks & 82 developers stacks; compared to Concourse, which is listed in 18 company stacks and 17 developer stacks.

I would definetly recommend Concourse to you, as it is one of the most advanced modern methods of making CI/CD while Jenkins is an old monolithic dinosaur. Concourse itself is cloudnative and containerbased which helps you to build simple, high-performance and scalable CI/CD pipelines. In my opinion, the only lack of skills you have with Concourse is your own knowledge of how to build pipelines and automate things. Technincally there is no lack, i would even say you can extend it way more easily. But as a Con it is more easy to interact with Jenkins if you are only used to UIs. Concourse needs someone which is capable of using CLIs.
