LayerCI — CI that’s faster, easier and shareable as demo environments

Thanks for hunting us, Kat Manalac! Hey Product Hunt! 🚀 We’re Colin + Lyn, and we’re so excited to share webapp.io! We take memory snapshots of your CI pipelines to turn them into demo environments. We want to make it easy to do code reviews and catch critical flaws before they ever get to customers. Today, remote code reviews are painful because: - Code reviews are inefficient when you can only look at code - it makes it inaccessible for non-technicals to get aligned, and for developers to get their work checked immediately - Sharing staging servers makes it difficult to get your work reviewed during the routine rush! - It sucks to jump on a video call to get your code reviewed, now that in-person desk checks are a thing of the past - Learning and creating efficient CI pipelines with high test coverage used to take years to master With webapp.io: 💻 You get to see an on-demand staging environment for every developer change - share it with Product Managers, Designers, Developers and CEOs to get aligned instantly. ⏰ Never wait for a staging server again - each development team gets at least 12 on-demand staging servers to run anything from end-to-end tests to manual QA 🌐 We keep each developer commit as a snapshot for up to 7 days. Instead of having to jump on video calls, take control of your time by checking new changes when it works for you - super friendly for teams in multiple timezones! ✅ Developers love us, because it takes less than one week to learn how to use webapp.io and create efficient pipelines. We make CI pipelines faster and easier than ever before. We’d love your feedback - feel free to try us out by pressing “see a live example” on the home page. You can reach us at founders@webapp.io or right here on PH!

As a designer, I got a chance to use LayerCI's demo environments as a way to do visual QA easily. It was super useful for me and made communication with devs so much easier and faster. So, thank you Colin + Lyn! It's so cool!
Lyn Chen
@taamannae Hey Taamannae! Thanks so much for sharing your experience with LayerCI here! I'm glad the demo environments made it easy to communicate with your dev team especially given the remote times. 💜💜💜
Ivan Malopinsky
Cool idea, tests on CI and demo environments converge anyway in my experience. The full-memory snapshot feature is also really interesting.
Lyn Chen
@imsky Thanks, Ivan! We really appreciate the feedback. Totally agree with the convergence of CI + demo environments - we're not sure why it was separate in the first place!

My team is an early LayerCI user; we joined several months ago. The stack is fast, the syntax familiar, and the automated dev environments make sharing work within and outside the team a snap. Lyn and Colin give a hoot about the product and their users alike, and it shows. Congrats on the launch team!
