Purepoint runs a cost-efficient CI pipeline at scale with Semaphore

  • ⛔️️ Never-ending experimentation with the tools available on the market
  • ⛔️ Issues with scaling and costs
  • ✅ A versatile and powerful CI/CD tool in place
  • ✅ Scaling and costs no longer an issue

Try out Semaphore

The Challenge

Purepoint experimented with most of the services that one finds in the top of searches for “continuous integration” keyword. From fully managed SaaS to even hosting and managing their own solutions on powerful dedicated servers.

However with each solution, they have run into congestion, scaling and ultimately prohibitive cost, with very little assurance that as they grow, their CI/CD service will be able to grow with them.

The Solution

When Purepoint stumbled on Semaphore, they immediately took note of the pricing model. Select your hardware and pay per second. Spin up as many instances as you need, when you need it.

That’s exactly what they have been looking for, and this assured them that as they grow their project, they can scale both vertically (faster instances) and horizontally (more instances) and pay only for the time their developers are working on the project, in a predictable fashion.

The Results

Developers like to use versatile but simple tools, that get out of the way, and do not constrict them with too many assumptions and requirements as to how software should be built and run. Purepoint emphasized that Semaphore is exactly that – plus it is also one of the first usable, stable and truly cloud-native solutions, thanks to its pricing and “instance on-demand” model.

The Purepoint team no longer has to worry about the scalability and CI/CD costs of their projects.
