What is Shippable?

Shippable is the first CI/CD platform purpose-built for containerized microservices. Shippable declaratively defines the infrastructure your team needs to build, test, and ship containerized applications hosted on public cloud providers like Amazon Web Services, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, IBM Cloud, etc. Shippable automates the deployment pipeline that delivers your software into production. The deployment pipeline specifies the checks that are executed against each change you submit. You can also schedule these checks using cron expressions. This helps you eliminate problems early in the pipeline before they affect developers or users, helping you iterate faster and ship more often.
