Travis CI

About Travis CI

Travis CI is a cloud-based continuous integration and delivery solution that helps small to large software development teams test, debug and deploy codes. The platform enables users to sync projects with the system to test multiple libraries against different runtime environments and data stores.

Travis CI uses OAuth to validate information for defining role-based access to repositories and facilitates lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) or security assertion markup language (SAML) syncing for permissions. The solution also enables users to integrate TraviS CI with their existing GitHub enterprise installation in order to manage source code and scale out custom build infrastructure. It offers various customizable build environment images with languages and other dependencies for deploying different applications. Teams can increase their build capacity to test numerous codes.

Travis CI's multi-node setup and load balancer provides safety from hardware failures. It can be hosted on various cloud and on-premise environments such as AWS, Google Compute Engine, VMware, OpenStack, and Azure. Plus, it integrates with several third-party applications including TravisLight, Team Dashboard, Project Monitor, and more.

Travis hasn't let me down yet. This services handles more than 90% of our builds.

Pros

Travis does a few things really well:
1. Documentation - the documentation is extensive and complete, and one never has the feeling that there are "hidden features" that only the power users know about.
2. Speed - waiting for more than a few seconds for a build to start is extremely rare.
3. Deploy integrations - builds can be deployed to a set of services easily. This is probably the easiest way to set up continuous deployment if you're on a tight budget.

Cons

The build environment can be somewhat restrictive, forcing one to choose language-specific base images and not giving access to the underlying VM.

Good experience - got hooked on the free trial, but it's time to move on as its costing an arm & a leg.

Pros

I really like Travis CI, creating .travis.yml files is easy enough & I love the interface for seeing my build progress. That said I'll be moving off of this platform very shortly.

Cons

The cost is insane - Azure DevOps offers pipelines for free, my AWS sites (5 of them) cost less to host than my Travis CI subscription, AWS has a DevOps implementation that is about $15/mo - even if Travis CI was at $20-$25/mo I would consider it as a solution.

Alternatives Considered

AWS Config and Azure DevOps Server

Reasons for Switching to Travis CI

I was working through a tutorial on AWS & this was offered as the CI / CD solution, since the trial was free I opted for it. Now that my project is in production though this pricing is my highest cost service & needs to be addressed.

We see it here as less and less professional. It started with a lot of time to get new images, the problem of running after 4PM (Berlin time), the cache for ccache that suddenly disappear (which makes us use even more credits, obviously), and we are missing more and more CD.

It really feels as if, after Travis was bought, that the board decided to "cash in" money. You even need to pay credits now for OSS? How is that supporting it?

Pros

I liked the ease to setup a new project with it, once you know how to get around the product.

Cons

For sure this new price plan, that was announced a day *after* it was put in place (seriously?).
It costs us more than half of the credits to make just one build. The price per minute is just insane. I can have more workers and unlimited build times with Azure DevOps, for about the same amount of money of just the subscription alone (so not counting those Travis add-ons).

When the credits are done, then the CI will just block. You need to close and reopen the PR. Problem is that we have other GitHub integrations, so this makes the process really painful.

Jenkins and AppVeyor

Reasons for Choosing Travis CI

General maintenance time was too high for our small team.

Reasons for Switching to Travis CI

We are actually also using AppVeyor. We didn't choose over Jenkins as it seemed it would still imply too much maintenance time (infrastructure and devop)

Travis builds, tests and deploys our software to staging and production environments. It is immensely useful, and critical to our software development pipeline.

Pros

Generally very reliable, customizable, extensible. Easy to debug. Is a workhorse.

Cons

Sometimes you'll get builds that won't debug, or builds stuck in the queue forever. This is generally because of some piece of travis infrastructure that has suddenly stopped, but there are no notifications, nor status indications that anything is wrong. Customer service can take the better part of a week to respond, or not at all.

Pros

Travis is the only ci tool that have VT-x enabled!
It's also well known, simple to use.

Cons

Paid compared to github action. At least it could be cool to have come montlhy free credits, for just a few to maintain some OSS project in RUN mode.
Not so configurable: I can't come with my own VM ISO so I'm forced to download all prerequisite package every time for each builds: most of my credits go there...
As I'm part of multiple orgs, it's hard to know which credits are spent where. Also, the authorization mecanism is not that clear: I don't know exactly what travis sees from my github infos.
