Netlify Build vs CodeFresh CI comparison of Continuous Integration servers

	Netlify Build https://www.netlify.com/products/build/	CodeFresh CI https://codefresh.io
Unique feature	Deploy your sites to global Netlify infrastructure Every commit gets its own deployed version. Automatically attach a new Deploy Preview at a unique permanent URL whenever you submit a Pull/Merge Request. Set Netlify Build to deploy every branch in the repository for unlimited staging environments.	Built for Kubernetes
Type of product	SaaS	SaaS / On Premise
Offers a free plan	Yes 300 build minutes/month, 1 concurrent CI build	Yes Offers a minimal free plan (only one concurrent job, 3 users, various other limitations)
Predictable pricing	Yes Extra 500 build minutes costs $7/month. User seat $15/user/month.	Yes Easy price calculator, based on the number of machines, concurrent jobs and special features.
Support / SLA	Yes 99.99% uptime SLA for Starter and Pro plan. Business plan has negotiable SLA.	Yes Paid support for enterprise plans
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 Starter plan (free) has only 1 concurrent build but Pro plan has 3 concurrent builds included.	Yes
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	Yes High-Performance Builds - The premium build environment gives more concurrency, processing power and asynchronous deploys.	N/A Unclear from the documentation (probably not)
Containers support / Build environment	Yes When you trigger a build on Netlify, their buildbot starts a Docker container to build your website. The buildbot will look for instructions about required languages and software needed to run your command before running build command. The instructions are called dependencies, and how you declare them depends on the programming languages and tools used in build. Build image selection is available. Until recently, all Netlify sites were built using the same build image. Netlify is experimenting with allowing customers to select from multiple Docker images with different operating systems and software versions.	Yes Built for Kubernetes, so containers are a must.
Analytics / Status overview Analytics and overview referrs to the ability to, at a glance, see what's breaking (be it a certain task, or the build for a specific project)	Yes Simple dashboard to see CI builds. Other than CI analytics Netlify has Netlify Analytics that brings data captured directly from their servers for your website.	Yes They seem to provide pretty great status overview, depending on the type of plan you're using.
Management support How easy is it to manage users / projects / assign roles and permissions and so on	Yes Team members managment. Role-based access control only in business plan.	Yes
Self-hosted option	No	Yes Only available for enterprise plans
Hosted plans / SaaS	Yes	Yes
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, partially Simple steps, define your own steps in bash commands	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.	No	Yes
Ecosystem 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?	No There are only small helpful things like incoming webhooks so other services can trigger Netlify deploys, and send outgoing webhooks as a deploy starts, succeeds, or fails.	Yes Every step in a CodeFresh pipeline is a Docker image. A wide array of steps is available over at https://steps.codefresh.io/
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 It has support for Ruby.	Yes Specific documentation for a sample Ruby-on-Rails project: https://codefresh.io/docs/docs/learn-by-example/ruby/
Specific language support: JavaScript	Yes It has support for JavaScript.	Yes There's an 'npm publish' step available, and they also provide a few Javascript examples over at https://codefresh.io/docs/docs/learn-by-example/nodejs/ (one is just a sample, one is a little more complex, using Redis, Python, etc., and one is a React App)
Integrations 1st party support for common tools (like Slack notifications, various VCS platforms, etc)	Yes Netlify has incoming webhooks so other services can trigger Netlify deploys, and send outgoing webhooks as a deploy starts, succeeds, or fails. For instance you can integrate it with Slack.	Yes https://steps.codefresh.io
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	No	Yes Rich REST API available, well documented at https://g.codefresh.io/api/
Auditing	N/A	Yes Audit logs available: https://codefresh.io/docs/docs/enterprise/audit-logs/
