Travis-CI is hosted continuous integration server for Github projects. The continuous integration part is fairly standard: it runs unit tests and report results after each project change.
The hosting part is unusual: the service runs tests on their own infrastructure and provides access to test results. The user does not need his own hardware nor to install and run the server. All that is part of the service.
Any public repository hosted on Github can use Travis-CI for free. Private repositories have to pay and the Travis Pro version they get is a bit different from the regular one.
This post is mainly about the free version. First chapter describes what Travis-CI does. Second part contains few things about Travis-CI server, infrastructure and organization behind it. Mini review with our experiences is located in the last chapter.
