“We used DeployBot for the longest time but we just had so many inexplicable issues and frustratingly timed downtime along with slow response times. Buddy has wiped the floor on all of these points. It takes a much more user focussed approach to deployment, giving you all the bits and pieces needed to construct a deployment/build system exactly how you need it”

Buddy is a relief for every developer. It's very easy to setup a pipeline for a server and there are tons of possibilities on how to build or deploy your website. We use Buddy for every website since 2020 and it saved us lots of time!

Before Buddy, we relied on tools like DeployBot to automate our deployments. Buddy is better in every conceivable way, and it doesn't require a PhD in Computer Science to setup or force you to structure your app in a specific way.

Buddy's UI is the most intuitive of any CI/CD tool that I've tried. It's simple to set up new projects and pipelines without needing to add a configuration file. I have personal experience with Jenkins, Semaphore, CircleCI, Bitbucket Pipelines, DeployBot, and DeployHQ; Buddy is the best by far.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is Buddy different from other CI/CD tools?
