Team City - An Easy to Use Continuous Integration Platform

We used TeamCity as our Core Continuous Integration solution for four years. I love TeamCity's easy to use interface, and the way builds and releases are linked together in dependency Chains. I found it particularly helpful that Builds can be run separately, or in advance of Releases - and then when Releases are run the Builds only run again if the code has changed. TeamCity's Templates, Variables, and Parameterization capabilities also made it very easy to establish a flexible template for common solutions such as deploying MVC applications to IIS. Once templates were configured I could create a "build and release" for a new project in less than 10 minutes.

While TeamCity has a simple to use and understand chaining mechanism, allowing builds to call "builds and releases" to rely on multiple dependency chains - TeamCity's PipeLine visualization capabilities are one of its weakest points. I had a complex build across five different environments consisting of eight different solutions and over 20 deployment targets. During a major update, it would have been nice to visualize the deployment pipeline and "watch" the deployment process for issues - but that really isn't possible with TeamCity. Outside of that, TeamCity worked great, integrated well with all of our platforms: Git, Azure, AWS, Visual Studio Team Services.

Great Product.
  • Build: Parameterization, Chaining from multiple sources, Templates, and general ease of use.
  • Release: Works extremely well with "Build" process.
  • Updates and Upgrades are simple, effective, and reliable.
Cons
  • Pipeline Visualization: TeamCity's weakest area
Small teams, Teams just getting started with Continuous Integration, or larger teams without the need for complex deployment pipeline visualization.

A easy and clean continuous evaluation tool.

TeamCity was used by my team to do the continuous evaluation and integration of various projects under our team. It was used by our team only in our organisation. It was easy to spot wrong commits and build a failure before the product release. This was very easy with the help of a continuous integration tool like TeamCity that has a very versatile UI.
  • By default, the TeamCity installation comes with embedded Hypersonic SQL DB (HSQLDB for short). It is a good database in its own right and has its strengths in the situations where you would need a fast and tightly integrated in-process DBMS embedded into your Java application. But running a production server on HSQLDB is risky.
  • TeamCity offers much better security than Jenkins from out of box installation itself.
  • Browser-hosted interface serves as the primary way to administer TeamCity users, agents, projects, and build configurations. It provides project status and reporting information suitable for a broad range of users and project stakeholders. It provides build progress, drill down detail, and history information on the projects and configurations.
  • In TeamCity a single branch can be built dynamically. When configuring a Git or Mercurial VCS root, you need to specify the branch name to be used as the default.
Cons
  • TeamCity download was about 535 MB. Starting up TeamCity server on Mac is quite a large space.
  • When compared with the existing continuous integration tools the number of plug-ins available is much less for TeamCity.
They have better documentation and tutorials, a cleaner UI and dashboard and the easiest implementation. When a big team was working in the same repository we had to build every commit automatically and validate each committer and with TeamCity. The integration process was easy and it gave individual validation for individual committers.

TeamCity - My Go-To Build system

I set up TeamCity for our core product continuous integration. For both the main product and the core libraries it is used to compile on check in, build and deploy on pull requests, and to run the unit and functional tests. No code goes into the develop or main branches without passing through this process.
  • Ease of configuration. Some build systems are difficult to get started on. TeamCity can be up and running quickly.
  • Cross platform. TeamCity runs on most configurations, and a master can configure agents of other OS types, so it can build nearly anything.
  • Price. It's free for limited use, so you don't need to pay until you ramp up and are using it a lot.
Cons
  • The upgrade process could be smoother. Moving from one major version to another involves jumping onto all your servers and often causes some pain.
  • Log formatting could be a little clearer, though that is true for almost all build systems.
Any time you are pushing code, you should be building continuously. TeamCity, like all JetBrains products, is well designed, well supported, and easy to use. I've found no other system that works as well cross-platform. If you don't have CI, you need it and should look at TeamCity.

One-stop solution for all build problems in massive organizations.

TeamCity is being used across my company. We have integrated TeamCity with the CI/CD pipeline. This is solving number of problems which occur if we do not have CI/CD in place. Configuring node servers to build the projects is easy. We can easily configure the properties while building the specific branch. Can easily build multiple feature/develop/release branches at once. It gives all build related information at one place, so can troubleshoot problem in build easily. Basic implementation of application is easy.
  • Selection of build server for specific build
  • We can add configurable properties
  • One stop solution to create deployable package
  • Initial and basic setup is easy
Cons
  • It is not plug and play thing
  • Need more specific configurations for smaller projects as well
  • Online help is less available
  • Basic implementation is easy but I think feature add on can be complex as it involve some language knowledge as well.
Well suited :
1. Big organizations where we need central control on builds
2. Apply rules and regulations is central
3. Yet it can be configurable on every build
4. Add different supportive tools of development to find bugs, vulnerabilities.

Not Suited :
1. Small Organizations where no more regulation needed.
2. When no addition of supportive tools required we can end up writing complex config for simple solutions
3. For Start-ups it is not suitable as require specific experienced developer to handle it.

Build with Confidence!

We use TeamCity for Continuous Integration & Delivery of our software products. We have many projects for various customers that are built and integrated continuously whenever we check code into our git repositories.

We use a mixture of Gradle & Maven builds and TeamCity handles both well.

We get immediate feedback from TeamCity if a code change has caused issues with other linked projects and, because we have confidence in our tests we also have confidence in a 'green' build prior to delivery to a customer.
  • Easy to set up. The UI is pretty easy to navigate and use. You can have your project up and running in minutes.
  • Good integration with various build frameworks/methodologies. You can run standard Maven, Ant or Gradle builds with virtually no customization.
  • Decent support for extensions via the plug-in mechanism. You can integrate with other popular tools such as Artifactory via plug-ins. Or write your own.
Cons
  • Upgrade process can be a bit of a pain - have to do this manually on your server.
  • It's easy for the new user to get lost in the UI. Although this is true for most systems that offer such a wide range of configuration options.
If you're an Agile shop that does TDD & regular releases then it's great.

I'd recommend this even for solo Agile developers as the free version gives you three build agents and you can put everything on a spare machine and run the whole thing in Docker.
