Question: Are you trying to solve the same problem that spring-cloud-pipelines is trying to solve?

Hi there,

I think you are trying to solve the same problem that spring-cloud-pipelines (https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-pipelines) is trying to solve.

What would be the reason to use one project over the other?

Thanks!

Thanks for feedback!

Me & @marcingrzejszczak (maker of pipelines) talked extensively about it this summer. There is an overlap between the projects. Let's keep this ticket open until we fix the documentation (or merge projects? :)

Spring Cloud Pipelines focus more on:

• building on Jenkins or Concourse (you need to set up your instance)
• continuous delivery for regular projects (monoliths, microservices etc.)
• deploying application to different environments with different configs, possible manual steps
• many more

Shipkit focuses more on:

• using free tools like Github, Travis-CI, Bintray
• continuous delivery for open source JVM libraries and Gradle plugins
• publishing in Bintray, Maven Central and Gradle Portal
• easy setup for libraries developers, full automation
• artifact versioning, creating tags, nice release notes, hidden sensitive data in output logs and many more

Nice summary!
