Cloud-Based Builds vs On-Premises Build Servers
Developers should use cloud-based builds to improve efficiency and reliability in software delivery, particularly for large-scale or distributed projects where local builds are slow or resource-intensive meets developers should use on-premises build servers when they require full control over their build environment, need to comply with strict security or regulatory requirements, or have sensitive code that cannot be hosted externally. Here's our take.
Cloud-Based Builds
Developers should use cloud-based builds to improve efficiency and reliability in software delivery, particularly for large-scale or distributed projects where local builds are slow or resource-intensive
Cloud-Based Builds
Nice PickDevelopers should use cloud-based builds to improve efficiency and reliability in software delivery, particularly for large-scale or distributed projects where local builds are slow or resource-intensive
Pros
- +It is essential for implementing robust CI/CD pipelines, enabling faster feedback loops, automated testing, and seamless deployment to production
- +Related to: continuous-integration, continuous-deployment
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
On-Premises Build Servers
Developers should use on-premises build servers when they require full control over their build environment, need to comply with strict security or regulatory requirements, or have sensitive code that cannot be hosted externally
Pros
- +They are ideal for large enterprises, government projects, or industries like finance and healthcare where data privacy is critical, as they allow customization of hardware, software, and network configurations to meet specific needs
- +Related to: jenkins, teamcity
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Cloud-Based Builds if: You want it is essential for implementing robust ci/cd pipelines, enabling faster feedback loops, automated testing, and seamless deployment to production and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use On-Premises Build Servers if: You prioritize they are ideal for large enterprises, government projects, or industries like finance and healthcare where data privacy is critical, as they allow customization of hardware, software, and network configurations to meet specific needs over what Cloud-Based Builds offers.
Developers should use cloud-based builds to improve efficiency and reliability in software delivery, particularly for large-scale or distributed projects where local builds are slow or resource-intensive
