Travis CI
What it is
Travis CI automates software testing and deployment through CI/CD pipelines. Teams configure pipelines in a .travis.yml file, then use build matrices to run unit and integration tests across combinations of environments, with parallel builds. Branch and pull request changes trigger pipelines by default, and passing builds can be deployed automatically. Travis CI supports more than 30 languages with preconfigured environments and names integrations with GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket, plus more than 40 CD providers. Security measures include encrypted sensitive data, HashiCorp Vault access, and isolated build environments disposed of after each run; traffic uses SSL/TLS encryption. Its homepage describes GDPR compliance. Hosted use and self-hosted runners are listed. Travis CI Enterprise can run on customer infrastructure or a private cloud and integrates with GitHub Enterprise. A free plan is listed, and the pricing note says paid plans start at $15/mo. Billing information says trial plans are currently unavailable; fixed-price plans cap concurrent jobs according to the plan.
