ReadyAPI tests can be invoked command line, so can be called from CI/CD.
What are your use cases?
I am still new to the project, in short its a web-based application which uses the Angular UI control, docker containers (TestComplete looks to be suitable for the front-end aspects) and mirco-services. Testing of the back-end micro-services is what I am interested in, ReadyAPI seems to be what I need.
The application services are predominantly linux based.
The back-end uses websocket, HTTP/REST, UDP...
Does ReadyAPI have a record and replay feature?
I like TestComplete because users can pretty much create tests without a large learning curve. Is ReadyAPI the same, can tests be composed easily using APIs/wizards provided.

User explicitly makes the API call the to desired services in order to get the response.

API testing is quite different to web based or UI based testing, here user see what they are doing where as API, they have to know or use API documentation in order to be able to test APIs.
Also there will be interfaces / contract between service and client namely WSDL (for SOAP) and Swager / Open API Spect / WADL for (REST) using which client can know the operations / methods supported by the service.
In short, no record option for API testing. Recording is limited to UI based applications.
I am afraid, regarding UDP support while one can test http which is based on tcp.
