Ask HN: Startups, what are your continuous integration needs?

Guys,

I want to help you with continuous integration (CI) setup and I am looking for input about your CI problems. This is needed for my project - a platform that will configure automatically whole project and run CI for you. Good configuration management practices are especially important for projects in rapid growth phase, when it is easy to lose quality. I have huge experience in this field so I could really help.

So, what comes to my mind might be:

- Running the build after each commit esp. when commits flood in and local build takes long;

- Support for all the major frameworks (RoR, Django, Play). Any others?

- Automatic creation of functional tests based on URL mappings;

- Various code metrics, like cyclomatic complexity (number of paths through a piece of code) for instance;

- Getting big picture what is going on in the project and what the trends are;

- Sharing best practices of configuration management.

Are the above important to you if you could get them out of the box? Is anything missing? Do you have any problem I could help with?

Also if you would like to you see the beta and test it, please drop me an email: marcin.mieszek@gmail.com

Any feedback is welcome!
