A CircleCI Case Study
Waffle, a six-person team that builds an automated project-management tool on top of GitHub, runs 10–20 builds daily with a couple thousand unit and integration tests. As the company prepared to launch, developers found that hosting their own CI would be time-consuming and could slow iterative development, so they needed reliable, automated testing to ensure safe, frequent deploys.
By using CircleCI, Waffle embeds build configuration in source, runs tests consistently across environments, and surfaces status directly in the Waffle board so developers don’t have to open the CI dashboard. The result is fast, automatic test feedback, confidence to go live, and uninterrupted iterative development without the overhead of managing CI infrastructure.
