The implementation of CI/CD can be significantly faster and more customizable for users thanks to the steps and integrations that already exist in cloud-based solutions.
Building proper infrastructure for a self-hosted solution, such as a modern data center, can take months. Hardware also has to be replaced every few years to meet performance and security requirements.
In most cases, self-hosted CI/CD tools come with new hiring needs. Cloud-based services offer a high level of support and onboarding assistance, so you do not have to worry about having to boost your headcount.
Network administration, reporting, and migrating data from the previous platform are all time-consuming tasks, and all make the installation of a self-hosted system a much longer process.
In case of an on-premise system, recovering from downtime, backtracking codes, fixing bugs, and other blocks in the CI/CD pipeline mechanics usually require more time, resources, and personnel.
Using a cloud-based CI/CD solution enables businesses to save time by focusing on core competencies, such as optimizing the product and developing new features. In addition to this, the model shifts the responsibility of hardware and security maintenance from companies to the platform provider.
Successfully implementing a CI/CD platform brings several direct and indirect revenue gains, such as shorter time to market a product, reduced developer headcount, fewer application failures, and increased app quality. Ultimately, using the right platform will not only result in better apps and app development process, but in a higher return on investment as well.
Cloud-based CI/CD solutions allow customers to have full control over stacks and access management, as well as the option to monitor any and all access within and outside of their environment at all times. Not only does it have a similar level of security as on-premise systems, but it also offers support in code signing, security approvals, and connection setups, too.
