Migrate your CI/CD from Bitbucket Pipelines to Semaphore

  • βœ”οΈ Choose the CI/CD solution from a 100% specialized company
  • βœ”οΈ Enhance engineering excellence with CI/CD performance metrics
  • βœ”οΈ Easily model any DevOps workflow

Semaphore is great at modeling complex delivery workflows for fast feedback with chainable pipelines, parallel execution, and dependency management.

The Semaphore team takes documentation seriously. No more sparse docs where you can’t find answers to your questions.

Configure your pipelines in the YAML file or in the UI using the visual workflow builder. Visuals make it simple to build workflows and define dependencies.

Measure your team’s operational performance and get an overview of where your team can improve. Track pass rate, build frequency, mean time to recover, CI speed, and other metrics.

Case studies

β€œWe were using Jenkins to build the old system, and it was hard to maintain and quite painful. We looked at other hosted CI services, but they were very unreliable. When we found Semaphore, we got our application up and running pretty quickly. We now use it for all projects.”

β€œSemaphore allows us to build anywhere from two to twenty branches in parallel, each one in a threaded environment. We had thousands of tests that were running for a really long time and with Semaphore we got the build to run in under 20 minutes.”

β€œSemaphore 2.0 allows us to build, tag, push, and run Docker images easily. This makes building a powerful pipeline where we can deploy to our Kubernetes cluster fairly easily and quickly.”
