Discussion on: Which CI/CD tool do you use?

I've used buddy.works with great joy, because it has a really nice UI to click together your CI/CD flow. It's particularly great for small apps or a quick prototype, because you don't need to write a config file.
Downside is it offers less flexibility and is more costly if you scale. For these reasons, I use CircleCI for bigger projects.

Since I always use the same stack, my CircleCI config is growing with me, and I now just cherry pick parts that I need for any new project.

Pricing is fair, and you can execute failing test again and ssh into the CircleCI container for debugging, which is amazing.

I've read a ton of interesting stuff about Jenkins, but so far have been too lazy, to set up my own instance for that. Obviously, that is the cheapest and most versatile option, but at the cost of more configuration time for me.

AWS now also offers a CI/CD platform, didn't look into it yet though. Generally, the AWS services are pretty usable.

I don't understand why Buddy is not that popular. It's a great tool imho. :D
