What is it?

Bitbar’s Shaker -service is a change-aware continuous integration (CI) delivered from elastic cloud infrastructure. The service accelerates software production by providing instant feedback on the newly created code. Every time a commit against the customer’s own source code repository is done, the server automatically checks out the sources onto the integration server, initiates a build, and notifies the committer of the result of the build and tests. In most cases this process takes only few minutes.
