Introducing Shorebird CI (Beta)
We’re thrilled to announce our newest product: Shorebird CI — a zero-config continuous integration system built exclusively for Flutter and Dart by the very people who created Flutter. We opened this up for a small developer preview in early August and are officially launching an open beta today 🥳
As app developers, you’ve got a product to deliver. No one likes spending hours fiddling with fragile CI setups or wrestling with YAML and bash scripts.
At Shorebird, we also got tired of configuring and maintaining our own CI pipelines so we finally decided to build a CI solution specifically designed for Flutter & Dart 💙
Why We Built Shorebird CI
From countless conversations with customers, we kept hearing the same story. Code Push made deploying instant updates effortless, but their CI pipelines were still slow, clunky, and expensive. Some companies even had entire teams dedicated to maintaining CI.
At Shorebird, we believe CI should be reliable, invisible, and performant. Developers should be spending their time building features and adding customer value, not fighting with CI pipelines and workflows.
Our Focus
Shorebird CI focuses on several key points:
- ✨ Zero-Config - Forget giant YAML files and bash scripts. By statically analyzing your project, Shorebird CI can infer your config automatically. Say goodbye to writing and maintaining complex YAML and bash scripts.
- 🎯 Dart-Native - Works with any Dart or Flutter project. It’s always up to date with the latest Dart and Flutter changes so you’re never blocked from adopting new features.
- 📦 Monorepo Aware - Growing into a monorepo? We handle it out of the box, so you can start small and scale without painful migrations.
- ✅ Production Quality - Our growing list of checks are designed to enforce best practices and catch bugs and inconsistencies during development to help you ship with confidence.
- 🚀 Performant — Thanks to quick startup times and reliable change detection, we only run checks on affected code and automatically parallelize builds for maximum speed.
From indie apps to Fortune 500 enterprises moving to Flutter, Shorebird CI aims to provide continuous integration that is simpler, faster, and more reliable for all Flutter & Dart developers.
Pricing
Much like our pricing for Code Push, we want to be able to serve the community and open source needs while allowing for larger customers with more extensive needs. While we are in this Beta period we have 2 tiers.
- Hobby - Free during for public repositories. This includes all Shorebird CI features so you can run fast, zero-config pipelines for your community projects.
- Pro — A simple $20 per month. This includes 100 hours of compute per month in a secure, private tenant to keep your code safe. This plan is required to use private repositories.
Pricing may change after this beta period as we learn more about customer usage and move toward general availability. Our goal will always be pricing that is simple, transparent, and scales with your needs.
