Paralellism
Every CI servers tends to address this differently (parallel, distributed, build matrix). Some of it is just marketing, and some is just nuance. For this table, parallel means that tasks can be run concurrently on the same machine, distributed means that tasks can be scaled horizontally, on multiple machines How to split tests in parallel in the optimal way with Knapsack Pro |
Yes Via easy Yaml config file, limited by the specs of the machine you have purchased |
Yes Automated parallalelization for code analysis, as well as support for running tasks in parallel |
|
Distributed builds
distributed means that tasks can be scaled horizontally, on multiple machines How to split tests in parallel in the optimal way with Knapsack Pro |

Build pipelines
A continuous delivery pipeline is a description of the process that the software goes through from a new code commit, through testing and other statical analysis steps all the way to the end-users of the product. |
Yes
|
Yes Pipelines as code (YML files) |
|
Reports
Reports are about the abilty to see specific reports (like code coverage or custom ones), but not necesarily tied in into a larger dashboard. |
N/A

Besides the official documentation and software, is there a large community using this product? Are there any community-driven tools / plugins that you can use? |
N/A

Specific language support: Ruby
Some CI servers have built-in support for parsing RSpec or Istanbul output for example and we mention those. Some others make it even easier by detecting Gemfiles or package.json and automate parts of the process for the developer. |
Yes Fairly complete documentation on Ruby projects: https://documentation.codeship.com/pro/languages-frameworks/ruby/ |
Yes Code analysis (automated code reviews) are available for Ruby, as well as specific documentation for setting up a Ruby project: https://scrutinizer-ci.com/docs/guides/ruby. Frameworks like Ruby on Rails are supported. They also provide tools like bundler-audit, for identifying vulnerable gems: https://scrutinizer-ci.com/docs/tools/ruby/bundler-audit/ |
| Specific language support: JavaScript |
Yes Fairly complete documentation on Node.js projects: https://documentation.codeship.com/pro/languages-frameworks/nodejs/ |
Yes Automated code reviews are available for Javascript as well as specific documentation for setting up a Node.js project: https://scrutinizer-ci.com/docs/guides/javascript. Typescript is also supported. |
|
Integrations
1st party support for common tools (like Slack notifications, various VCS platforms, etc) |
Yes Easy to integrate a bunch of 3rd party services, such as Code Climate, Codecov, Rancher, Pager Duty and many more: https://documentation.codeship.com/general/integrations/codeclimate/ |
Yes Light integration with third party systems, mainly code management frameworks like GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab. |
|
API
Custom integreation is available, via an API or otherwise, it's mentioned separately as it allows further customization than any of the Ecosystem/Integration options |
Yes Custom integrations are possible: https://documentation.codeship.com/general/integrations/custom-integration/ |
Yes Comprehensive REST API available: https://scrutinizer-ci.com/docs/api/ |
| Auditing |
N/A
|
N/A Unclear from the documentation, but most likely available. |
| Additional notes |
CodeShip Pro gives you a lot more flexibility when defining your CI/CD process, plus you get your own AWS instance, so your build doesn't run on a shared server (this can be important for HIPAA or GDPR compliance, etc). |
The code analysis features seem great, the offer for similar tools is quite light. Seems similar to lgtm.com |
