The challenge

Traels, a Ruby on Rails consultancy based in Denmark, ran test suites that could take an hour or more and lacked a clear billing overview of CI spend.

The solution

Traels used Semaphore to run about 15 parallel workloads on its largest projects, with usage-based billing visibility.

“Test Suites running an hour or more can now suddenly run in less than 10 minutes.”
