Cruise: Hassle-free Software Deployment
All the features you expect from an enterprise continuous integration server...
- Zero-configuration build grid. Simply install your agents, and they will update themselves automatically, fetch their configuration and any source code they need, and start building.
- Central artifact repository. Keeps your application's binaries, test data and log files in a central location so that you can get the information and metrics you need in a snap.
- End-to-end security. Cruise has support for LDAP and Active Directory authentication. Agent-server communication is secured using SSL and public key infrastructure, with all agents requiring approval to join the grid.
- Out-of-the-box support for .NET, Java and Ruby.
...with battle-tested best practices baked in
- Build pipelines. Watch your application progress from commit through functional testing, performance testing and UAT to staging and even production.
- Parallelization. Split long builds into separate units of work and Cruise will run them simultaneously on multiple agents to bring your build time down.
- Test multiple environments. Create stages in your pipeline to test your application on multiple combinations of hardware and software.
Prepare to release and relax...
- Fast, simple installation. Get your first build up and running with minimal fuss.
- Robust architecture. Cruise handles agent failures gracefully, transparently re-assigning builds to other agents. Reboot current agents or spin up new ones without Cruise missing a beat.
- Operations friendly. As well as easy-to-use wizards, configuration can be done using a simplified XML configuration file that you can version control. Cruise picks up changes on-the-fly with no restarting.
- Scalable dashboard. We've designed our dashboard so that you can get the information you need at a glance, whether you're a tester working on a single development stream, a program manager monitoring many projects or an operations manager in charge of hundreds of machines.
...and enjoy your ride
- Lots of other ThoughtWorks Studios magic that will make continuous integration and deployment a pleasure, not a chore. We can't wait to show you -- register your interest so we can share more details with you as we get closer to the release.
