From Tuesday, December 12 until Sunday, December 17, the Semaphore build cluster suffered from sporadic network instabilities due to a faulty device at a Tier 1 network provider.

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 […]

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 […]

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.

If you take heed of any of the many reports relating to cloud-native computing, then you'd be forgiven for thinking that every organization, large or small, is well on the way to a microservices-oriented application nirvana.

We’ve recently started redesigning Semaphore’s public API, and we’ve established some general guidelines and semantics for elements in the URI path. A good understanding of URI path element semantics can ease API usage, so we are presenting it here.

As any application grows in features, running all automated tests in the continuous integration (CI) environment begins to take a significant amount of time.

Fast feedback on the work we’ve done minimizes developer context switching and keeps us in the state of flow. Waiting for all the jobs to finish in order to see that a job has failed can waste a lot of time. If a job fails, the developer should have the option to be notified right […]

For a long time, Semaphore has been limiting your build command execution time to a fixed 60 minutes. This restriction worked great for the majority of builds on Semaphore, however there are some cases when this limit is simply not good enough.

By popular demand, we’re happy to announce that we’ve made some tweaks to Slack notifications coming from Semaphore. Here’s what our build and deployment notifications now look like: We experimented with different approaches, ranging from minimal to multi-line, rich format messages, and used them for our projects for several weeks. In the end, we settled […]

In the last week, news has spread throughout the CI/CD community about the announced shutdown of Snap CI, one of our highly-respected competitors. If you’re a Snap CI user looking for a new hosted CI/CD solution, here’s a comparison of Semaphore’s and Snap CI’s offering to help you decide if Semaphore is the right choice […]
