DotCi vs Snap CI: What are the differences?

Developers describe DotCi as "Jenkins plugin with GitHub and Docker integration". DotCi is a Jenkins plugin created by Groupon that makes job management easy with built-in GitHub integration, push-button job creation, and YAML powered build configuration and customization. It comes prepackaged with Docker support as well, which means bootstrapping a new build environment from scratch can take as little as 15 minutes. DotCi has been a critical tool for Groupon internally for managing build and release pipelines for the wide variety of technologies in their SOA landscape. On the other hand, Snap CI is detailed as "Build, test, and deploy software faster with Snap's continuous integration and deployment tool". Snap CI is a cloud-based continuous integration & continuous deployment tool with powerful deployment pipelines. Integrates seamlessly with GitHub and provides fast feedback so you can deploy with ease.

DotCi and Snap CI can be primarily classified as "Continuous Integration" tools.

Some of the features offered by DotCi are:

• Deep Integration with Source Control – for us that’s Github Enterprise
• Integration with Github webhooks
• Feedback sent to the committer or pusher via Email, Hipchat, Campfire, etc.

On the other hand, Snap CI provides the following key features:

• Deployment Options - Heroku, AWS
• System Libraries - Your build runs on a RedHat 6-compatible system with commonly required libraries
• Customization Options - In addition to all that we support out of the box, we offer you the chance to customize your build extensively.

DotCi is an open source tool with 505 GitHub stars and 65 GitHub forks. Here's a link to DotCi's open source repository on GitHub.
