From fast-moving startups to well-known enterprises

"Mergify gave us a merge queue that behaves predictably under heavy load. Reliability is everything, and Mergify made stability a solved problem."

Rushin Shah, Sr. Manager DevInfra

"The merge queue is a huge value from Mergify: it keeps our main stable and allows us to merge quickly with confidence."

Minh Tran, Platform Engineer

"You get the benefits of Mergify immediately. There is no competitor doing stuff like this."

Florian Berchtold, Software Engineer

"Since adopting Mergify, our code quality has skyrocketed. We've drastically reduced post-deployment bugs."

Bálint Bartha, Senior Platform Engineer

"We transitioned from manual chaos to over 20 safe deploys per day. Mergify is becoming a critical part of our delivery function."

Chris Irving, Engineering Manager

"We basically turned GitHub into an autonomous system. Mergify runs the entire choreography for us."

Fabien Marty, Senior Staff Software Engineer

"With dozens of engineers and long-running CI jobs, Mergify turned what used to be a daily bottleneck into a background process. Our teams focus on hardware, not merge logistics."

Ben Holtzman, Senior Design Enablement Engineer

"Before Mergify, we spent too much time manually coordinating merges. Now everything flows automatically."

Nicolas Beaussart-Hatchuel, Senior Staff Software Engineer

"Mergify was the best fit. It saved a couple of hours per engineer per month and resolved our bottleneck with the merge queue."

Tomas Nekolny, Engineering Manager

"The support on Slack is really good, reactive and transparent. We have other partners where problems feel less transparent. With Mergify, it's fluid."

Clément Danjou, VP Blockchain

From dashboards to automation

Mergify takes the actions Datadog only alerts you about.

Flaky tests quarantined automatically. No more blocked pipelines.

CI-native. Built for GitHub Actions and Jenkins, not bolted onto APM.

Action rules with no human in the loop: retry, skip, or quarantine on a condition.

Complete merge platform. CI insights feed merge queue decisions.

No Datadog dependency. Standalone CI intelligence, no existing spend required.

Predictable pricing. No per-committer add-on billing surprises.

Before CI Insights, we were wasting hours debugging CI issues. We now cut triage time in half within a week.

Liam Hartman

Platform Engineer at Vertex

CI Insights is just the beginning

Mergify connects test intelligence directly to your merge workflow. Detect problems, act on them automatically.

Detect

Flaky tests, slow jobs, failure patterns

Act

Quarantine, auto-retry, skip known failures

Merge

Smart queue decisions using CI health data

What Datadog CI Visibility doesn't cover

Datadog gives you visibility. These are the gaps teams notice when they need action.

No test quarantine

Datadog detects flaky tests but can't isolate them. Your pipeline still breaks while you decide what to do.

No auto-retry rules

No configurable retry logic. When a job fails, you re-run it manually or live with the red build.

No merge queue

Datadog observes your CI but doesn't touch your merge process. PRs still pile up and conflict.

Requires Datadog platform

CI Visibility is an add-on to the broader Datadog platform. You need an existing Datadog contract to use it.

Dashboards over action

You see the problem in a chart, open Slack, tag someone, and file a ticket. Mergify skips that loop entirely.

Per-committer pricing

CI Visibility bills per committer on top of your existing Datadog spend. Costs grow with your team, fast.

We had 40 known-flaky tests and no system to deal with them. Engineers just re-ran the suite and hoped. Test Insights quarantined the worst offenders on day one, and within a month we actually fixed most of them because we could finally see which ones mattered.

Lucas Meier

Staff Software Engineer at Norde

The pricing question

Datadog CI Visibility is a per-committer add-on to the broader Datadog platform. You need an existing Datadog contract, then pay extra for CI visibility on top. Costs scale with every developer who pushes code.

Mergify includes CI Insights in every plan. Predictable per-seat pricing, no surprise line items. Free for up to 5 users on private repos.
