What do you like best about Codefresh?

All the integrations are really easy to do, at the moment I'm the only one working on Codefresh and it was not hard at all to implement everything by myselfc everything is well documented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codefresh?

Terraform provider is a little outdated, that's my only point, I can't create everything I want using terraform itself, I think codefresh should invest a little bit of time working on that one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Codefresh solving and how is that benefiting you?

Basically we needed to do CI/CD pipelines from scratch and fast and Codefresh really solved all our issues with that, now we feel more productive and the deployments increased dramatically Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Codefresh?

The Kubernetes first-class integration makes it easier to adopt a "per branch" continuous delivery deployment. This powerful feature can be leveraged together with the templating features and pipeline variables to really standardize and simplify CI/CD across an organisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codefresh?

Although it is possible to create triggers for the pipelines from the UI, triggers are a relevant part of CI/CD pipelines configuration and they should be defined as code and versioned as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Codefresh:

If you are looking for a Kubernetes-first platform to build your CI/CD strategy, Codefresh is a great tool, especially if you are looking to adopt GitOps methodology. If you are not embracing microservices and Kubernetes, you might opt for a different CI/CD tool with a different or a more general focus: although Codefresh is flexible and can be used for most CI/CD pipelines use cases, their focus is clearly on K8 and microservices and I expect them to always prioritize features on their roadmap that are mostly useful for developers that use these technologies and architectural approaches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Codefresh solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our goal was to have full CI/CD pipelines which integrates easily with several Kubernetes cluster, as well as the possibility of run automated tests in a docker-compose like setup. Thanks to Codefresh, our testing strategy has become more flexible: we didn't have anymore to mock all external services, such as databases or message brokers, for testing purposes, but we could selectively decide which ones to mock and which ones to run in a docker-compose during pipeline execution Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Codefresh?

Codefresh pipelines make sense. The YAML configuration and project/pipeline layout are very intuitive, and their documentation is overall pretty great. The pricing model is simple and upfront.

Pipelines and steps are very customizable, and running them with conditionals or parallel makes them super customizable. The web interface is excellent for writing proof of concept pipelines and testing them; then, you can commit them to a repo and tie the source to a branch to have it sourced from your repo.

Secrets management is a breeze, and being able to pass in different shared configurations based on what git triggers fire is beneficial in creating simple pipelines.

Connecting to k8s is well documented, and I quickly added the necessary configuration into my terraform code to have it be part of my infrastructure as code. Having the configuration profiles available at all steps is very convienent.

Their sales and support teams are great and very responsive to feedback and concerns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codefresh?

There's not much to not like about codefresh - the worst for me is that there are a few minor UI bugs that constantly reoccur that you must know about, or else it will cause you headaches with unexpected outcomes.

Caching is excellent in that it is handled for you automatically. Still, it can sometimes be bad as running multiple instances of the same pipeline can result in the new runs not using the cached resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Codefresh solving and how is that benefiting you?

Codefresh provided us a platform to test and deploy our code to a kubernetes cluster without having to spend a lot of time figuring out how to connect CI/CD to a kubernetes cluster. We now have more reliable deployments since deployments use predefined pipeline code instead of from a laptop with a different configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Codefresh?

I like that it is container-based, easy to use 3rd party and internal container registries. The YAML format for pipeline specification is also something that should come naturally to any DevOps person. I have found the documentation to be excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codefresh?

I have run into some stability issues with CodeFresh. I could not start my pipeline (containers were not getting started up). I had to contact customer support during my evaluation to put me into a different tier to see my containers running. It set me back by a day on my work that I did not expect. I would check on SLA before signing up for a full service.

It is somewhat confusing how you can sidecar some services.

There are no examples on how you could leverage 3rd party cloud services to reach apps deployed within the pipeline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Codefresh solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use it for continuous integration and continuous delivery of our product. The Codefresh pipelines run simultaneously on a commit, so the team does not wait until an agent on a build computer to free up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Codefresh?

The most helpful feature I loved about Codefresh is how easy it is to connect your project from Github and how automated it can get with running the builds. Using it for work makes everything so much easier to track because as soon as a change has been committed a build is run and we get instantly get notified about the status of the build. Another very helpful part is the documentation which is amazing, and I found it very detailed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codefresh?

In general, I don't have anything in particular that I dislike. Everything about the UI is pretty intuitive and easy to follow. I have noticed a few stability issues once in a while, but these were fixed very quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Codefresh solving and how is that benefiting you?

I work with ETL pipelines, and using code fresh is pretty handy as it helps us get an overview of each section and definitely helps with maintaining different versions and repos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only question we have might be cost vs Github Actions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Codefresh solving and how is that benefiting you?

Simple Git Ops type of flow that allows us to deploy when we push to specific branches and also allows steps for approval before deployment is triggered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
