DotCi vs Strider: What are the differences?
Developers describe DotCi as "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. On the other hand, Strider is detailed as "*Open-Source Continuous Integration and Deployment Server *". Strider is an Open Source Continuous Deployment / Continuous Integration platform. It is written in Node.JS / JavaScript and uses MongoDB as a backing store. It is published under the BSD license.
DotCi and Strider can be categorized as "Continuous Integration" tools.
Some of the features offered by DotCi are:
- 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.
On the other hand, Strider provides the following key features:
- add hooks to perform arbitrary actions during build.
- modify the database schema to add custom fields.
- register their own HTTP routes.
DotCi and Strider are both open source tools. It seems that Strider with 4.33K GitHub stars and 434 forks on GitHub has more adoption than DotCi with 505 GitHub stars and 65 GitHub forks.
