Codeship vs wercker: 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 wercker? Build, test, and deploy container-native applications. Wercker is a CI/CD developer automation platform designed for Microservices & Container Architecture.
Codeship and wercker belong to "Continuous Integration" category of the tech stack.
Some of the features offered by Codeship are:
- Run you automated tests | Easily set up Codeship with Github or Bitbucket and trigger your automated tests with a simple push to your repository.
- 100 builds & 5 private projects free per month.
- Free for OSS.
On the other hand, wercker provides the following key features:
- Pipelines - Wercker's Pipelines enable developers to fully automate builds, tests and deployments with Docker as a first class citizen.
- Workflows - With Workflows: a collection of pipelines can be chained and triggered to achieve complex automation goals.

"Simple deployments" is the primary reason why developers consider Codeship over the competitors, whereas "Automatic Deployments" was stated as the key factor in picking wercker.
Product Hunt, InVisionApp, and Soylent are some of the popular companies that use Codeship, whereas wercker is used by AX Semantics, DataHero, and creative box Inc. Codeship has a broader approval, being mentioned in 278 company stacks & 82 developers stacks; compared to wercker, which is listed in 40 company stacks and 23 developer stacks.
We migrated all our CI/CD pipelines to CircleCI back in 2017 and are particularly happy about it since!
Our top loved feature is unlimited parallelism. We can run as many builds concurrently as we want.
We also use orbs, pipeline parameters, reusable commands, build cache, test insights.
For some of the heavier repos, we use a larger resource class and mount RAMdisk to a file system to speed up builds.
