Software & DevOpsDone with Devin
Build apps, debug repos and set up CI/CD with Devin
A review lists Devin building a full-stack to-do app, debugging a public repo with a PR, and doing Docker setup, deployment and CI/CD.
- What They Did
- The reviewer did not run Devin. They relied on Cognition's demo videos and early-access user reports. In those, Devin works in a Linux shell with a browser and GitHub. It built a React and Express to-do app, debugged a public repo and submitted a pull request, and set up Docker, deployment and CI/CD pipelines.
- How It Went
- The review calls Devin strong on boilerplate and clearly specced features. It is weaker on legacy refactoring, complex logic and vague instructions. One beta tester said Devin did 90% of a Node.js backend setup, leaving cleanup.
- Worth Knowing
- These results come from demos and second-hand reports, not hands-on testing. At publication Devin was closed beta with no pricing, and the review says its code still needs checking.
Try it yourself with Devin
In my repo [repo link], set up Docker so the app builds and runs locally, then add a CI/CD pipeline using [GitHub Actions or other CI] that runs tests and deploys to [hosting target]. You're done when the pipeline passes on a test branch and I can follow your README steps to run it. Pause and show me the deployment config before anything is deployed to production.
