• I prefer configuration-as-code. Does Buddy support that?

  Yes. The UI is fully optional and you can stick to code configuration from the very beginning if you wish. Everything is covered in the documentation. Secondly, you can configure the pipeline in the UI and automatically export your settings to YAML to save time. Lastly, you can switch between both modes in a click, so the decision is never fixed.

• Does Buddy support open-source repositories?

  Yes, Buddy supports both open-source and private projects. You can also enable read-only access to pipelines and executions and share it in your repository on GitHub.

• Does Buddy have a free plan?

  Buddy offers a free tier with 5 projects and 120 pipeline executions per month. You can upgrade to a higher plan with unlimited executions and more RAM, vCPUs, and parallel builds at any time. All new accounts start with 14 days of trial with 3GB of RAM per container, allowing you for intense and unrestricted testing.

• Is there a self-hosted version of Buddy?

  Yes, Buddy offers a standalone license. The self-hosted version can be installed on your own server or on any cloud service (e.g. DigitalOcean, AWS, Azure). Feature-wise, there are no differences between the cloud and standalone versions of our app.
