Everything in life is a calculation and needs to be balanced. We need to encourage people and businesses to use their ACs only when required, but at the end of the day, we need to find better ways of saving the environment while still supporting 7B people on the planet to live reasonably comfortably.
Why not Shippable? Free for 150 builds/month for private projects, brand new UI created with a focus on usability and perf, integrates with GitHub and Bitbucket, and we're adding metrics very shortly.
- I'm from Shippable and we have many customers who've moved from CircleCI to us because of many reasons like better Docker support and the ability to create simple to complex pipelines.
- I'm not sure if you contacted us to improve build times but I'd love to jump on a call and discuss your experience. This is definitely not the typical feedback we get so would like to dig in deeper and improve our handling of your scenario. [email protected]
- the first build server on circleci is only free up to 1500 build mins per month.
Have you tried Shippable? It's very focused on Docker based workflows for CI and also for building images, provisioning infrastructure, etc and then connecting all these jobs into a dependency matrix with configurable triggers.
Try Shippable's Startup edition @ $499/year. Though Jenkins software is free, you still pay for master and slave nodes. With Shippable Server SE, you can spin up nodes dynamically when builds are triggered, which will work out cheaper since you probably utilize your slave nodes less than 50% of the time.
