Key differences

• GitHub Actions and GitLab CI are specifically designed for their respective platforms (GitHub and GitLab), while Jenkins is a more general-purpose automation server.
• Travis CI and CircleCI are hosted services that focus on testing and building open-source projects, whereas Drone is an open-source tool that focuses on simplicity and ease of use.
• TeamCity is a commercial product with a focus on enterprise-level CI/CD needs.

When choosing a CI/CD tool, consider factors like:

• Integration with your version control system (VCS) and issue tracking platform.
• The type of builds and tests you want to run (e.g., unit tests, integration tests, or full-scale deployments).
• The level of customization and flexibility you need for your workflows.
• Your team’s size, skillset, and experience with CI/CD tools.
