CircleCI is an awesome service that has made testing and continuous integration significantly easier for our small dev team. Highly recommended! https://circleci.com/

Awesome, thanks Loren!

I've also been using CircleCI for a few months and I can say that it's been excellent. When I needed help, then founders were super helpful and fast. Congrats guys! Can't wait to see what's coming next.

Big +1 to Circle. Works great. Unfortunately, the way we're running our test suite (Konacha for JS front end + rspec/capybara/et al for the backend) precludes us from the "magic" parallelization, which is a bummer.

Thanks!

We have a couple ideas on how to make non-magic parallelization easier to set up. Expect to see that in the next few weeks.

Hey guys, I'm a founder of CircleCI. Happy to answer any questions, or check us out and give me feedback!

I saw on your blog post that you use clojure - could you give an overview of your technology stack and how clojure fits into it?

Hey, I'm the other founder at Circle.

So the entire backend is clojure. For the devops stuff, we use pallet [1], a clojure library similar to puppet or chef, and stevedore, a clojure DSL for writing bash. We actually have zero bash in the source tree!

The web UI is a fat javascript client using knockout and HAMLcoffee, so the web server only serves a JSON API, all HTML rendering is done client-side.

Well done! Can't wait to see circle grows with more features.

A++++++ great service would use again :)
