Case Study: Split Payments achieves 6x faster CI builds with Semaphore

Split Payments cuts build time from 15 to 2.5 minutes with Semaphore

The customer, Split Payments (now Zepto Payments), faced significant challenges with their previous CI solution from CircleCI, including unstable performance, 15-minute build times, and costly subscriptions. This slow feedback loop hindered team productivity, prompting them to seek a more stable, reliable, and cost-effective CI/CD platform from vendor Semaphore.

Semaphore provided a solution with its pay-as-you-go pricing, managed build agents, and visual pipeline builder. By implementing parallelization for their RSpec tests and leveraging Semaphore's features, Split Payments drastically reduced their build times from 15 minutes to just 2.5 minutes. This resulted in a sixfold performance improvement, enhanced team productivity, and lower costs compared to their previous provider.
