When would you choose Webapp.io over CircleCI?
Webapp.io is specifically built for full-stack webapps, so it comes with features which aren’t included in CircleCI.Skipping steps automatically with our file watcher
Webapp.io has a powerful caching system which automatically makes builds faster:- As your build progresses, webapp.io monitors which files are used by which build steps at the hardware level.
- For example, you don’t have to micromanage cache keys for steps like
npm install
ordocker build
, because we’ll know which files are used by those steps. - This would often mean 2x - 10x faster builds for common webapp workloads like starting databases and installing dependencies with no extra configuration.
