Buddy

Buddy is a Continuous Integration and Delivery tool for web and software developers. The tool uses delivery pipelines to build, test, and deploy code. The pipelines consists of actions (over 100 types) that can be easily arranged with drag and drop in a clear & telling GUI – there is no need to script the whole process.

Okay, that’s kinda neat. I’ll look into that more, as I like having a pipes server to do stuff for me. Maybe we can invest in one instance and all use it.

In recent years I’ve thought more and more about CI/CD servers as I’ve shifted to building static sites (Hugo) over database-driven, rendered-in-time systems (WordPress).

I have a good system with WordPress, using webhooks and automated importing; I can do a lot with WordPress, but all I really want is to update text files on a CDN infrequently. But also not have to think about it.

As in: I find a typo, I track it down as the text file on my lappy, fix, commit, push, and then I don’t want to think about it. Because these are simple processes, and it can always jabber me when it fails.

Anyhow, that’s why I’m interested in Buddy. I’d like to know more about the warez, and the license, etc. So warez page will do it for me.
