Traditional CI approaches need you to mix Dockerfiles with a big YAML file to define pipelines. Layer turns this pattern on its head - we've extended the Dockerfile to make it specifically for testing: - It's only one file, so you can write CI configurations without looking at docs - Our runners are fully featured VMs, and we take memory snapshots instead of just the filesystem so you can restore a configured Redis instance from a previous pipeline. ## Benefits - Get a unique link to share the frontend changes for every commit - we'll spin up the environment whenever it's requested, so you don't have to pay to keep them up - CI runs significantly faster because you can set up your environment (e.g., `docker-compose up -d`) once, and rewind to that snapshot for every following pipeline. - It's easier to onboard team members because they just have to read the single Layerfile to understand the whole CI process (incl. how to install everything) - Debugging is easier because you can enter a web console into the last snapshot up to a week after a test passed or failed.
