This sounds amazing and better than running our own slow Jenkins box.

Yes, that was our motivation as well. Thanks and feedback is always welcome :)

That's exactly what we're working on :) You'll see this light up in the next couple of weeks.

Super. Time to switch from Travis :D

Give it a spin and let us know what you think :)

How is this better than Drone ( https://drone.io )? My builds run really fast on it and they're also running on Docker. On top of that, they're also open source ( https://github.com/drone/drone ).

Some differentiators - Visualization of test & code coverage results, Matrix build to test multiple variations for a single push, and you also get 5 container build concurrency for $25 instead of 1 container in case of drone.

And as far as I know, Drone service is not running Docker yet and we have been running it since October...

There is a group of developers that need way more love from the CI space: iOS devs. One day I hope to see a comparable service emerge. Until then the only semi-comparable and cost effective solution is a self hosted Jenkins. (although I'd love to be proved wrong)

Apple's licensing rules prevent running mac virtualization as a service. We are trying to run this with an array of mac minis but supporting this architecture in a data center is a challenge.

Any suggestions are welcome... would be very happy to support this scenario.

Sorry, Docker noob here.

I have a Rails project that has a lot of customized features. I have tons of Cucumber tests that require browser (haven't tried to run it headlessly) and they take about 40 minutes to run. I would love to use services like Shippable, but I am not sure how well the Cucumber tests that require javascript to work with CI services. Would anyone speak if Docker can help with this problem?

We have been using this service for that last 3 months and this release is a great upgrade...looking forward to seeing our other feature asks to make it to shippable.com

Docker helps your customizations to be standard across environments (dev, test, staging, prod) We support headless testing with selenium on top of phantomjs or other browser drivers. Doing it headlessly should speed up your test cases significantly.

We at Unbxd are using Shippable to CI our maven builds. I am pretty impressed with the ease and speed of the tool. Everything is taken care of end to end. we were up and running in minutes. Highly recommended.
