It is incredibly simple to configure, but can do nearly everything you need it to. You can choose between an intuitive interface or use YAML to configure your pipelines. It supports integration with plenty of services out of the box.

Buddy has saved me a ton of time over the few years, building and deploying websites to a number of different servers and services and I honestly couldn't be happier.

Super simple to set up, fast builds, and intuitive interface. Using various CI tools daily, I find Buddy to be the easiest option for onboarding new team members due to the GUI approach to displaying actions and builds.
