Buildkite vs Gemfury

Buildkite Pipelines is a CI/CD platform that dispatches pipeline steps as jobs to agents. Agents can be hosted by Buildkite or run in a customer's own infrastructure, including on-premises and cloud environments. Dynamic pipelines can generate and upload steps during a build, allowing a workflow to respond to code changes, test results or runtime logic. Test Engine collects results across testing frameworks and provides tools to track, analyze and act on them. It can detect and quarantine flaky tests, split tests across parallel jobs, and monitor test performance, reliability and ownership. Documented integrations include Slack, PagerDuty, Datadog, Honeycomb, OpenTelemetry, Amazon EventBridge, Artifactory, Docker Hub and Backstage. Buildkite lists TLS 1.2+ for data in transit and AES-256 encryption at rest, along with an annually audited SOC 2 Type II report. The Free Plan costs nothing and allows up to 5 users and 10 concurrent jobs. Pro costs $30 a month, billed per active user monthly, and includes up to 50 users and up to 250 concurrent agents, with 10 included.

Gemfury is a hosted repository for public and private software packages. It supports RubyGems, npm, PyPI, Go Modules, Composer, Maven, DEB, RPM, Bower, and NuGet. Packages can be uploaded through a web interface or command line, with transfers to the repository over SSL. Private packages can be deployed through a Gemfury Repo URL using existing package-management tools and workflows. Gemfury says a secret token in the URL protects packages, and uploads, deployments, and installations use SSL. Users can share an account with coworkers; business plans add separate billing, multi-ownership, and fine-grained permission control. The Free plan costs nothing and includes unlimited collaborators, public packages, and versions, but no private packages. Personal 1C costs $9 a month for one collaborator; Team 10P costs $25 a month for unlimited collaborators and 10 private packages. Gemfury offers a 14-day trial without a credit card and says trial use has no limits. Packages are deleted one month after account cancellation and cannot be recovered.
