Identify and resolve every key bottleneck in your CI pipelines

Start from the organization view to understand the overall performance of your CI environment. Drill down to troubleshoot issues across individual repositories and workflows.

Get a bird’s eye view of your pipelines

Swarmia gives you the views to easily evaluate the overall health and performance of your CI environment with the organization-level insights. Monitor how the most critical metrics are trending, and spot problems before things go wrong.

Drill down to take action

Dive deeper into individual repositories to find the workflows with the most room for improvement. Then, analyze which parts of your workflows fail frequently or take the longest to run to identify the root causes for slowness or flakiness.

Quickly catch failed
CI checks

Get automatic Slack alerts about failed CI checks in your PRs. To eliminate noisy pings, you’ll only get CI failure notifications after you’ve requested a review.
Swarmia gives us quantitative information about how our teams are doing, but without adding any friction.

Works with your tools
and processes

Every team is different
There’s no single right way to build software.
We adapt to your teams’ tools, rituals, and habits.
Easy to integrate and scale
Swarmia is built to work with your internal systems
and the tools you already use.
No harmful metrics
Swarmia is not a tool for spying on developers. We only surface healthy, research-backed insights.
Fast onboarding
and flexible rollout
Setting up Swarmia is easy. You can either do it yourself or get support from our customer success team.
Designed security-first
Swarmia is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and we conduct security audits twice a year to keep your data safe. We’re happy to support comprehensive security reviews, and work with your security team before you connect to Swarmia.
How we keep your data secure→
Swarmia both feeds and empowers our insights. It allows our engineers to dive deeper into the metrics in a specialized environment, which would make no sense for us to build for ourselves.
