Drone
Drone is an open-source continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) platform that automates software testing, building, and deployment pipelines using Docker containers. It integrates with version control systems like GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket to trigger automated workflows based on code changes, enabling teams to streamline development processes and ensure code quality.
Developers should use Drone when they need a lightweight, container-native CI/CD solution that is easy to set up and scales with Docker-based environments. It is particularly useful for projects requiring fast, reproducible builds and deployments, such as microservices architectures, cloud-native applications, and teams adopting DevOps practices to accelerate release cycles.
