Painless Continuous Integration for Laravel Artisans.

Why is setting up automated testing so complicated?

You know the drill...it's time to get that codebase tested before it hits production servers. So you go to your CI provider, connect your repository, and then spend the rest of the day (or more) trying to get the damn thing to run. And it happens. Every. Single. Time.

• "What's even installed on this build image?"
• "Can I run my tests against an actual database?"
• "Why are my tests passing locally but failing in CI?"
• "Is my build done, yet?"

Each project steals precious hours of your life, time you could be working on cool new features instead of debugging cryptic errors.

Doesn't it seem like there should be something tuned for Laravel? Something that feels first-party? Something hyper-focused on developer experience?

We thought so...and decided to roll up our sleeves and see if we could do better. And let's just say, we're almost there.

It's so good, it runs both default Laravel test suites (PHPUnit and Dusk) seamlessly, with zero configuration. And it's really fast.

In particular, this is the service we're building:

• A fast and stable CI service tuned for Laravel apps
• Build images that closely resemble official Laravel Forge environments
• Fast build speeds using intelligent dependency caching
• Easy deployment integrations for Laravel Forge, Envoyer, and Vapor

Popular CI apps are focused on being generic for all languages. However, working for everyone means catering to the lowest common denominator — and we’re left fighting the tooling that should make our life easier. No more!
