I love buildkite and I wish they had better pricing model -- we would definitely love to pay for more. Pros of buildkite: - Very powerful. Plugin system is amazing and easy to extend. We wrote our own buildkite-docker executor, and I merged a lot of parts from it to the docker plugin upstream - UI is a lot prettier and responsive than Gitlab's - Dynamic pipelines ! - Hooks are extensive and powerful. Precheckout, Checkout, PostCheckout, precommand, command, postcommand. You got it all. - The GraphQL API is amazing, and probably one of the best API I've used in my life. - Pipelines are composable. You can make a yaml include another yaml. This was our biggest gripe with Gitlab since we use a monorepo and it got pretty big - I know for a lot of people it doesn't mean a lot, but I like emojis in the output - Agents are not stored like Gitlab. In Gitlab, once an agent connects, it gets stored in the database and never disappear until you delete it. It's problematic for our use case, because we use pre-emptibles node to save cost. It's 30% of the real price, and it dies every 24 hours. after 3 months, our Gitlab got super slow because it retained all the infos on all runners that existed. I had to make a script that deleted it from the database. - Job retries! - Docs are pretty dope - Annotate is very cool (https://buildkite.com/docs/agent/v3/cli-annotate https://buildkite.com/docs/agent/v3/cli-annotate) - Block step. Useful for confirming before deploy or something. - Pretty cheap (unlimited builds, you pay per user). Honestly, I would love to pay them more. Cons of buildkite: - It's not free, so Gitlab is hard to beat on that. - Gitlab works fine for 99% of the use case. Take a look at their changelog, a bunch of screenshots and you'll see their development pace =) https://buildkite.com/changelog https://buildkite.com/changelog
