Read it to discover how par8o reduced build time from over 2 hours to 13 minutes with Semaphore Boosters, fully automated parallel CI for Rails.

In this series of tutorials, we’ve seen how to establish a Docker Swarm cluster, schedule services to the cluster’s nodes, and make those services consumable from within and outside the cluster. Deploying services, however, is not necessarily a one-time activity. Things change, and there needs to be a mechanism for updating services, after they’ve initially […]

Learn more about the engineers and the workflow behind rkt, an open source container engine for Linux.

In the Developer Interview series we talk to engineers who use Semaphore and pick their brains about how they work, what wisdom they would like to pass on, and the most challenging problems they’ve faced during developing. This time, we spoke to Emile Vauge, the creator of an open source project, Traefik.

At Semaphore, we’re 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.

Being able to control your CI pipeline programmatically, tweak and bend it to your will, is a huge benefit for both small and large organizations.

Firebase has you covered when it comes to building and architecting your app, but what about deploying your projects onto Firebase? Until now that’s been a manual process done via firebase-tools (the command-line interface for Firebase), but now we can use the power of Semaphore to create an entirely automated continuous deployment process.

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 […]

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. In this post, we’ll share with you our annual analysis of PHP versions used in commercial projects on Semaphore’s hosted Continuous Integration service. The majority of projects are using […]
