CumulusCI vs DotCi: What are the differences?
What is CumulusCI? Python framework for building portable automation for Salesforce projects. CumulusCI was built to solve common challenges faced during the development and release of Salesforce managed package projects.
What is DotCi? Jenkins plugin with GitHub and Docker integration. DotCi is a Jenkins plugin created by Groupon that makes job management easy with built-in GitHub integration, push-button job creation, and YAML powered build configuration and customization. It comes prepackaged with Docker support as well, which means bootstrapping a new build environment from scratch can take as little as 15 minutes. DotCi has been a critical tool for Groupon internally for managing build and release pipelines for the wide variety of technologies in their SOA landscape.
CumulusCI and DotCi belong to "Continuous Integration" category of the tech stack.
Some of the features offered by CumulusCI are:
- Build sophisticated orgs with automatic installation of dependencies
- Load and capture sample datasets to make your orgs feel real
- Apply transformations to existing metadata to tailor orgs to your specific requirements
On the other hand, DotCi provides the following key features:
- Deep Integration with Source Control – for us that’s Github Enterprise
- Integration with Github webhooks
- Feedback sent to the committer or pusher via Email, Hipchat, Campfire, etc.
