“Buddy (Buddy.works) is a capable CI/CD pipeline builder with Kubernetes deployment support, but I wouldn't consider it a full-fledged progressive delivery platform.”
“Kubernetes deployment: Apply Kubernetes manifests using kubectl apply.”
“Cluster connectivity: Supports Amazon EKS, Google GKE, Azure AKS and private clusters.”
“Authentication: Supports tokens, client certificates and service accounts.”
“Deployment monitoring: Checks whether the deployment has been successfully applied, with configurable timeouts.”
“Docker integration: Build and push container images.”
“Pipeline orchestration: Run tests, security checks, deployments and notifications in sequence.”
“Custom scripting: Execute additional Kubernetes commands when the predefined actions aren't sufficient.”
“You want a visual pipeline editor.”
“Progressive rollout orchestration | Requires additional tooling”
“Percentage-based traffic shifting | Not a documented first-class feature”
“Automated canary analysis | Not a documented first-class feature”
“Metric-based promotion | Not a documented first-class feature”
“Automatic rollback based on application health metrics | Requires additional tooling or custom implementation”
“GitOps | Not its primary purpose | No | Native”
“Worth considering if you also want GitOps-based deployment management.”
“GitOps | Not its primary purpose | No | Native”
“CI/CD pipelines | Excellent | No | Limited”
“Build and test | Yes | No | No”
“Probably the strongest option if you want sophisticated canary and blue-green deployments, automated analysis, traffic management and rollback.”
