"It was easier, and faster to migrate all our builds to Buddy than it was to set up a single new build on CircleCI. They have a phenomenal UI, where I can manually trigger builds. Their Docker and caching integration is first class, and builds are insanely fast. There is no minute waiting time if I want to use Docker builds."

“I love working in my terminal, but when the UX/UI of a product is so good, I love working in a GUI too. Being able to quickly spin up very complex builds & deployments, and then tie in all sorts of notifications is a dream come true.”
