Review on Appcircle by Leon Johnsson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Continuous Integration & Deployment made easy

Appcircle offers a lot of integration features like AWS CodeCommit support, GitHub, Google Cloud PubSub for Push Notification, which makes it easier than ever to integrate with other software tools within our organization. Appcircle can also be integrated with the Heroku Buildpacks API through buildpacks which gives us a lot of flexibility to develop an automated process in Jenkins without needing to use any third-party plugins or SDKs. I dislike Appcircle's UI, the layout doesn't look very intuitive and could have been better given its popularity of CI/CD solutions. But it's still quite good in this price range ( free ). We are using Appcircle to automate deployments on AWS Lambda functions via continuous integration using Jenkins as well as perform smoke testing on our iOS apps before pushing them into production. The ability for our team of developers in multiple locations around Europe all working together using one code base has been incredibly beneficial as we have no longer had any issues relating software development or deployment across different timezones! We can now deploy new features without delay - which was previously something I would dread doing each week due to being stuck waiting at airports etc whilst my colleagues were still developing away back home!!
