Concourse vs Magnum CI: What are the differences?
Developers describe Concourse as "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. On the other hand, Magnum CI is detailed as "Hosted Continuous Integration and Delivery Platform for private repositories". Magnum CI is a hosted continuous integration service for private projects. It supports multiple languages and tools to run test suite Service supports all major version control software and integrates with most popular code hosting platforms. There are no restrictions or limitations on where you store your source code, so even your own self-hosted repository will work right away..
Concourse and Magnum CI belong to "Continuous Integration" category of the tech stack.
"Real pipelines" is the primary reason why developers consider Concourse over the competitors, whereas "Free" was stated as the key factor in picking Magnum CI.
Concourse is an open source tool with 3.99K GitHub stars and 482 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Concourse's open source repository on GitHub.
I'm planning to setup complete CD-CD setup for spark and python application which we are going to deploy in aws lambda and EMR Cluster. Which tool would be best one to choose. Since my company is trying to adopt to concourse i would like to understand what are the lack of capabilities concourse have . Thanks in advance !
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.
