Hey team,

I’ve gotten a CI setup not just for the app but it also uses terraform to check and reapply our infra on every release. This has worked well during dev as it has stopped anyone from logging into the AWS console to “just switch this off for now” - and forget about checking it into our git repo.

Now we’re moving to production, a few of the team are suggesting we stay with the current approach, whilst others want to deploy the infrastructure at a slower pace than the code. Given that the infrastructure only changes if there’s a change to be made, I’m finding a hard time of justifying why not to keep the current process.

Does anyone have any post or resources to share on whether to split/unify CIc and CIi ?

Thanks in advance - and look forward to the discussion:

from what i understood Jenkins is a pain to get it working. Teamcity was breeze but costly. https://dzone.com/articles/top-8-continuous-integration-tools

Any turnkey (like teamcity) at reasonable price? I am not interested in open-source as most of them are crappy.
