Drone acts as our CI service for testing our application. We also use it as a deployment server for building docker images for production once tests pass on the master branch. The docker image acts as a deployment artifact that Convox can use to deploy.
Our client platform utilizes Electron which is also built and pushed to S3 for download.
Shippable allows us to run our testing framework on the same exact images that we run our stack in. This helps us avoid any issues with the testing framework being different than the production framework.
