At Semaphore, weโre always looking for new ways to improve our continuous integration service, as well as share ideas and articles that help developers make software development and continuous delivery faster, smarter and easier. Last week, we published an overview of what were some of the most popular open source language versions used in commercial […]
Introduction Angular is one of the most popular front-end frameworks around today. Developed by Google, it provides a lot of functionality out of the box.

Firebase has you covered when it comes to building and architecting your app, but what about deployingย your projects onto Firebase?

Building and shipping new features is hard work, and having something that blocks you during that process can be agonizing. Having a healthy workflow that doesn’t limit you is crucial when progressing your code from development to production.
The Ruby community is famous for fast development of greenfield projects and quick acceptance of new concepts. However, it’s worth noting that a lot of mature projects such as GitHub, Shopify and Basecamp also operate with Ruby at their core. Every year we take the opportunity to check which versions of Ruby are used for […]
In this tutorial, we’ll be looking at Laravel applications and how to deploy them to Heroku. We will also set up Semaphore for continuous integration and deployment. Continuous integration is very important as it helps us make sure our test suite still passes after making changes to our code. Let’s get started. Prerequisites A Heroku […]
Semaphore is one of the very few (if not the only) CI services running jobs on dedicated hardware. The choice to have machines in data centers proved to be very beneficial, as this is what gives our users the best performance in class. We’re happy to announce that the cluster running the standard platform has […]
PHP has been one of the top 10 most used languages for years, and it’s present on the server-side for the majority of websites accessible today.

Being able to compare the way you’re working to rest of the industry is usually both interesting and useful. This is why we created Rails Testing Grader, a new tool backed by anonymous, real-world data from Semaphore that lets you compare the state of your test suite and CI build to Ruby on Rails projects […]
Out of all programming communities, Python’s is the fastest growing one. Same as previous year, we’ll take the opportunity to check which Python versions are used for building real-world applications on Semaphore’s hosted CI service.

To make these tasks easier for our users, we are now providing all the CRUD actions for your teams through Semaphore API v2. This means that if you’re an admin or an owner in an […]
Learn how to write behaviour-driven development tests for your HTTP API using Cucumber, so that the entire business can benefit from them.
Since the Rendered Text team working on Semaphore is constantly growing, this month we spent two days at Mokrin House to get the entire team together and get to know each other better. We decided to spend half of our time working, and the other half on teambuilding activities, walking, biking, or whatever we felt […]
