Ask HN: Which continuous integration/deployment solution do you use and why?

I am the co-founder of www.shippable.com and we're trying to understand what people value the most while choosing a continuous integration solution.

Our hypothesis is that it's complexity, speed, and price so we're focused on making our product super simple, fast, and cheap.

But just wanted to get additional thoughts from folks here- - Do you already have CI set up? - What were the top 3 reasons for choosing your existing solution? - What value prop will attract you enough to switch?

Thanks!!

Jenkins. Main reason is usable and simple interface and ability to integrate with your coffee machine if you want to. Go looks interesting, maybe next time I'll take a closer look, but jenkins instances I've set up years ago are still there and work just fine.

Wow, shippable has really great prices, will try it today.

PS. Using jenkins because price (most of cloud CI has price about a cost of not bad VPS at DigitalOcean, for example).
