The range of applications that you can run on Semaphore keeps growing. After native support for iOS, today we’re happy to announce that you can run your CI/CD in any Docker image. This means that Semaphore now supports any technology stack that works with Docker out of the box. Docker has become a standard for […]
Introducing Semaphore for iOS, a serverless CI/CD service which makes it easy to build, test and deploy applications for any Apple device.
Google has launched Cloud Run, a new solution for running serverless applications based on Docker containers, this month at its Cloud Next ’19 conference. What we can say now is this is an important step for serverless computing — deploying to Cloud Run is much easier than running containers on Kubernetes. It also has no architectural […]
Travis CI is one of the most popular hosted Continuous Integration solutions. Most notably, it has made a huge contribution to the developer community by serving the biggest share of open source projects. However in 2019 most new software projects are looking for a solution that can drive the entire Continuous Delivery lifecycle. There’s also […]
Article originally published on The New Stack. The goal of every tech leader is to deliver bug-free products to customers at high velocity. Today’s cloud-native technology can empower engineering teams to iterate, at scale, faster than ever. But teams that don’t also change how they deliver software will struggle to benefit from the agility and […]
We are very excited to share the good news with you: Semaphore 2.0 is finally out!
Adoption of serverless technology is surely growing, with emerging product companies who built on top of it. One of them is CloudZero, a Semaphore customer, who recently wrote a detailed article about their experience in achieving continuous delivery for their all-serverless system.
Semaphore 2.0 closed beta is now available. Make sure to get on the list for an early invite. With powerful, fully customizable CI/CD pipelines, Semaphore 2.0 makes it easier than ever to deliver great products at high velocity. It’s designed to accelerate the way engineering teams of all sizes build, test and deploy their projects. […]
Today we’re happy to announce general availability of the Docker Light platform. Based on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, the environment provides one physical CPU (2 vCPUs), 4GB of RAM and 10GB of disk space.
At Semaphore, for years we’ve been happy to support open source projects with a free continuous integration service. Today we’re increasing the free CI/CD capacity on all open source organizations from 2 to 4 Boxes.
This post is adapted from Rails Testing Handbook, a free ebook on building sustainable Rails apps with BDD. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of generating a new Rails 5 application, with all the necessary tools to set up a behavior-driven development (BDD) flow. We will set up 5 tools that […]
This is the second post in the series about antipatterns in testing Rails applications. See part 1 for thoughts related to fixtures and factories. Creating records when building would also work It is common sense to say that with plain ActiveRecord or a factory library you can both create and only instantiate new records. However, […]
Ruby on Rails was the first major web framework to include automated tests as part of every new project. The effects have been enormously positive. Many developers have learned to write tests well, which in turn helped them get better at design. Experienced developers were drawn by Rails’ focus on productivity and beautiful code. Their […]
Bugs and messy code slow down development, and can make complex projects fail. We write code with good intentions, but in practice as complexity increases we need a system to help us avoid problems. This is where BDD (Behavior-driven Development) can make a huge difference: it provides us with a sustainable process for continuously producing […]
