How I helped my company ship features 10 times faster, and made dev and ops win
# Using one product, deployed correctly, you can improve your company’s work methods, speed up software delivery, reduce errors, avoid maintenance and create a self healing CI system that is scalable, agile and customizable. #<p><i></i>What<i></i>
After a few years of working with Jenkins for enterprises, Travis CI for open source and side projects; I began looking for a self-hosted solution. One that would provide the speed and agility of container-native servers, but, would be open sourced with a live community and an easy way to contribute features and create plugins.<p>Drone combines it all and a bit more, although the first official major version hasn’t been released yet (0.8 is the latest to date). The Golang-based server has been alive and flourishing for over 2 years, new features and fixes are being released, with a live community responding to any query, question or call for help.<p>Leveraging the light weight Go concurrency “routines”, drone applies parallel build pipelines, stages and jobs to enhance processes and improve build times. 
The system provides an easy to setup server and agent(s), out of the box integration with VCSs like GitHub and GitLab, as well as a very quick deployment process overall.<p>Thank you for reading!
