I'm a big fan of TeamCity; it's user-friendly, has a nice interface, and setting it up is a breeze. However, I'm facing a challenge because it's built on Java and demands over 4 GB of RAM, which seems excessive. I'm looking for a CI/CD tool that is just as effective, easy to deploy with Docker Compose, and ideally more resource-efficient. Any recommendations?

There's no single 'best' tool out there. It really depends on what you need. What types of applications are you working on? What tools are your team familiar with? These aspects are crucial to figuring out the right fit for you.
Remember, at the end of the day, everything can be boiled down to shell scripts. It’s all about what works for your specific situation and needs.
GitLab CI and Github Actions paired with tools like Portainer or Komodo could work well for you if you are looking to apply Docker Compose on your server.
GitLab CI and ArgoCD are great options for CI/CD. They're efficient and cover most needs. However, Argo might not fit well if you're tied to Docker Compose. I've seen others struggle with similar requirements, wanting a solution that integrates easily with their existing setup. GitLab CI has been solid for my projects; that's primarily what I rely on for continuous integration.
Yeah, GitLab CI is definitely worth considering. It’s versatile!
Hands down, Buildkite is the best CI/CD tool I've ever used. It's super efficient and can really streamline your process.
I've been curious about Harness open source; I’ve heard good things but haven't tried it yet.
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll look into GitLab CI.
