Outgrowing Bulldozer?
Outgrowing Bulldozer?
Although Bulldozer is a solid open-source solution for auto-merging, chances are it will slow you down when your team and CI grows. Try Mergify for more advanced merging and smart CI workflows.
CI Insights lets CI engineers and platform teams slash CI debugging time by 60%. Kill flaky jobs, auto retry jobs, and get Slack alerts for critical job failures.

Bulldozer got us started, but as soon as we hit scale, our CI was constantly overloaded. We postponed but should have transitioned to Mergify earlier.

We previously used Bulldozer but with Mergify’s Merge Queue we cut our CI runs by 40% and we got really good visibility into flaky tests.
