Solano Labs

“Knowing that we wanted to stop managing our own CI environment, we went looking to CI service providers (hosted, and self-hosted) to see how they would perform. TL;DR We’re glad we switched. Now that our tests are run via [Solano CI], we’ve phased-out our Jenkins setup, and the testing queue has been all but eliminated. We ended up with a setup that allowed three builds going at once, and that seems like the sweet-spot for us with builds taking about five minutes apiece.”

“Our SRE team went through several different continuous integration solutions in the last year before settling on Solano. What Solano gives us is an on-premise solution with excellent native support for fanning out tests to multiple threads, running them in parallel, and then assembling the results. It has a great web UI, CLI support, and impressive performance. our deploy workflow has grown noticeably faster, and the number of wails and anguished GIFs from frustrated engineers is at an all-time low.”

“We can deploy more CI builds through each day, which ultimately means we can push more changes to the site on a daily basis... We are delivering value faster to our end users because of Solano CI... Our developers don’t have to spend time worrying about maintaining our CI system; they can rely on Solano CI to do everything, so they can instead focus on what they do best: building great tools for our website that bring the most value to our end users across the globe.”
