Everyone should be checking out @rwx_cloud to replace their CI. This team is killing it!

This is useful, and fun. I like using the prompt "get the list of tests that failed in CI and write them to tests.md as a todo list"

still blown away every time a merge into main instantly deploys because of @rwx_research Mint's cache hits.

We agree. One reason among many that Mint provides the best developer experience in CI/CD 😎

Here's what I think a reasonable CI should have: 1. Uses Docker containers so people can run locally without the `git commit -am "F-ing CI" && git push` business. 2. During setup, have an option for a failed CI to open an SSH port so devs can shell in and see what's up.

We raised a $7M seed round led by @QuietCapital, and today we're launching Mint, the Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) platform with the best developer experience. rwx.com/blog/mint-laun…

Why should CI runs have to be finished before they're marked as having failed? We separated result status and execution status in Mint. Now runs are marked as failed as eagerly as possible, even if tasks are still running. @TAGraves just made it happen 🎉

We built a breakpoint debugger into Mint to solve this problem. Call `mint-breakpoint` anywhere you want, and then run `mint debug` using the local CLI to open a shell. Shouldn’t have to push and guess at changes in CI/CD workflows.

Hey @github, here's something I'd love: the ability to launch a new codespace from a failed github action using the YAML file so I can debug it without this whole guess a fix, push, and wait dance that's so infuriating.

When you revert a PR and CI is entirely cache hits 😎 After using Mint, I can't go back to CI without content-based caching

We have been a long time customer of @depotdev. It's the fastest way to build Docker images, and we use it for all of our applications. We've built Mint to be the fastest CI platform, so we knew we needed to make Depot available. And now it is! rwx.com/blog/depot-min…

rwx.com

Depot adds support for Mint, making the fastest Docker builder available on the fastest CI

We're excited to announce that Mint is now available as a Trusted Relationship in Depot.

Mint solves all of those problems! Is this the DX you're looking for?

We’re sharing the first public preview of Mint, our new build tool, at the end of May. Join us at one of these sessions: 🗓️ Tue May 30 @ 4pm Eastern: rwx.com/events/2023-05… 🗓️ Wed May 31 @ 10am Eastern: rwx.com/events/2023-05…

If each of our tests have “five nines” of stability: Each test will pass 99.999% of the time and flake 0.001% of the time. Then, a build of 100,000 tests will flake and fail 64% of the time (0.99999^100000). Test stability is hard.

Captain is now open source! It's is a CLI that can detect and quarantine flaky tests, automatically retry failed tests, partition files for parallel execution, generate comprehensive test failure summaries, and more. rwx.com/blog/captain-1…

Captain 1.10 Generally Available, Open Source Release

Boost engineering productivity with Captain: an open-source CLI that eliminates flaky tests, optimizes test suites, and provides detailed failure summaries.

Last year, we began building a universal test runner that executes test suites as distributed workloads. After a thorough beta testing period over the past several months, we’re excited to announce the generally available, open source release of ABQ. rwx.com/blog/abq-1-3-g…

Many aspects of software are subject to entropy. It takes extraordinary effort to do any of these after the fact: • Simplify features • Increase code quality • Make designs more opinionated • Reduce build & test duration • Decrease resource consumption Later ≈ Never
