About

I am a QA/DevOps/CICD engineer and engineering manager for the last too many years. I have seen first hand the pain of CI systems from cruise control > Bamboo > Hudson > Jenkins > Gitlab > Github > TeamCity > [some other one]. These are great systems for task dispatch. They are terrible systems for doing work related to your PR and builds. In each company, my team and I worked on making CI less painful and each time I discovered and formed new opinions. BuildButler is my years of experience in CI and Testing and a highly opinionated product. I think all CI systems should leverage BuildButler as a sidekick. It is the Robin(BuildButler) to your Batman(CI system). It is the jelly to your peanut butter. They are just better together.

BuildButler for taming your Jenkins setup

We all love and hate Jenkins. It is free and gets the jobs done but it is also a pain to get data out of. There are no APIs, no database, no nothing. With Jenkins being the most widely used CI system, we had to solve the pain for Jenkins using both a light and heavy plugin. The heavy plugin is like a super plugin. It is jam packed with features and runs everything inside your network. The light plugin relies on BuildButler backend. Both are superb and you can't go wrong. Tell us what you think.

BuildButler - Take back control of your CI and Flaky Test data using AI

Real-time build monitoring, test intelligence, flaky test detection, pipeline insights, and AI-powered CI analytics for Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab, Azure DevOps, BuildKite, Teamcity and more. If you are building software and using any CI vendor, chances are that you have barebones analytics and no ability to triage tests and link them to some issue tracking system like JIRA or ADO. With BuildButler, you can analyze your builds till the cows come home !
