Shipyard

Shipyard offers automated review environments on every pull request, catering to Developers, Product, and QA teams. The company provides three subscription tiers: Startup, Business, and Enterprise. Shipyard’s ephemeral environments can result in 62% cloud cost savings, 3.2x developer velocity, and 8.7x DevOps productivity. These environments integrate seamlessly with existing workflows using GitOps and are defined using Docker Compose, which is then transpiled to Kubernetes manifests. Shipyard connects and deploys to hosted Kubernetes platforms such as GKE, EKS, and AKS, and offers a release automation GUI for deploying the latest tags, commits, and branches. The developer dashboard simplifies monitoring, debugging, and deployment from a centralized point. Pricing plans include features like API access, port forwarding, streaming logs, and configurable Since Last Visit (SLV). Shipyard provides high visibility and cost-efficient testing environments for DevOps and SRE teams, with companies like MaestroQA and Drata using these environments for faster deployment and testing. Environments are bootstrapped in secure, single-tenant, fully sandboxed Kubernetes clusters on GKE, hosted in ISO 27001, FedRAMP, SOC 1, and HIPAA compliant data centers managed by Google Cloud. Shipyard also offers a bug bounty program for responsible disclosure of security concerns. The ephemeral environments enable QA teams to run automated tests and test individual features continuously, promote collaboration by allowing teams to share and collaborate on each feature prior to a merge, and control costs by allowing environments to be spun up and down as needed. These environments improve the efficiency of the SDLC by enabling early access to features and are accessible for teams who need this functionality quickly and affordably.
