I've helped a few clients migrate from whatever ad-hoc process they had to CI/CD with Azure Devops.

Apart from one minor issue with a bug in node.js timing when running the build server on burstable VMs (which is probably more to do with AWS setup than node), I've not had any issues that I can think of.

I don't have the problem with cache though, as I always run my own build servers/agents.

The UI has changed a few times over the past year, mostly around the rebrand from VSTS to Azure DevOps. But once learned, it's pretty straightforward and I'm sure I've barely touched the surface of its capabilities.

I, for one, am very impressed.

EDIT: oh, one improvement I can think of, would be to accept web-hooks rather than polling Bitbucket. But honestly, that's only a delay of a minute or two, so it's not a big deal. You could also easily enough create your own serverless webhook listener that triggers the build, so it's a bit of a non-issue, but I was surprised at the lack.

Thanks for the feedback @davewasthere. I'm an engineer on Azure DevOps. Our bitbucket support is built around web hooks, not polling. If you are seeing delays email me your azure devops org name and we can look into it. My email is my HN name at microsoft.com.
