The Node community is constantly expanding and enterprises are adding it to their stacks, because they can use the same language throughout the entire stack. This year, the Node.js Foundation released the results of a survey which identified how and on which projects people use it. One thing they haven’t covered are the versions of […]
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 […]

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 […]
This post was written by Scott Anderson. It was originally published on the Nanobox blog. Semaphore is a continuous integration (CI) platform that runs your automated code tests and triggers specific actions based on the results. This article walks through how to use Nanobox and Semaphore to test your code and automate deployment.
