Track Multiple CI/CD Builds Using Meercode

Building software products can be challenging. There can be more than one tool that is in the play. Not to mention the usernames and passwords for each tool and authorization issues. So is there a way you could just monitor all the processes directly from a single screen? Today we shall be talking about a tool that can solve your build problems by providing a single entry point for a 360-degree view into your build, integration, and deployment processes.

Meercode is a unique tool that allows you to monitor and manage your builds from a single dashboard. Your product might have more than one CI/CD process. These processes can be across different servers such as GitHub or Azure DevOps. No matter what the server may be, Meercode lets you visualize your running and completed workflows on a clean and beautiful UI.

Build Monitors

Meercode comes with build monitors. This allows organizations visibility across all the builds and their statuses. Build monitors are an essential part of any CI setup. By using build monitors, any team member can instantly know the status of the builds while doing their work.

Integrate with your favorite tool

Big projects are built across many tools. Meercode has support for a vast number of tools to help make your monitoring easier.

Across every provider, the process remains simple: Sign up, Integrate and Monitor builds.

Beautiful UI

No need to go through long long complicated log files to point out a simple error. Meercode is built with clarity in mind. Via beautiful and comprehensive charts, using Meercode you can easily identify gaps, errors, and bottlenecks!

Meercode highlights your currently running builds on the top and shows them separately. Relax as your build files transform into colourful bars.

Security

So is the Meercode satisfy your security requirements? Security can make or break your product. You do not want another tool that asks for excessive permissions or submit your source code. Meercode is designed to ensure that your safety and privacy are not compromised. To achieve this Meercode comes with the below features:

Keep your source code private.

Source code is the heart of your product. Letting this source code exposed can be a disaster to any company. Of course, Meercode understands this, hence Meercode does not ask you for your source code. This means your code and product details are kept to yourself and you can safely build and maintain CI/CD from Meercode.

Token-based Authorization

Meercode does not perform any action by itself. Whether it's building, integrating, or deploying any pipeline, Meercode requires that you authorize the operation by using secure token-based authorization. As a result, users can only monitor resources which they can access on the service side. This also means that if a user does not have any access to any repository on let suppose GitHub, then corresponding actions are not shown to that user. Hence you do not need to worry about any unauthorized operations.

No excessive permissions

So does Meercode need any permissions? Yes, Meercode needs read/write permissions. Meercode is designed to require minimal permissions to your CI/CD resources and we never access your source code. We need to enable one-click functionality to cancel or re-run actions. This is only why Meercode needs to have permission.

Pricing

So is Meercode affordable for your business? Meercode comes in three different pricing models. This means that its suitable for not just small businesses but also enterprises and start-ups. I am summarizing below the available model with feature sets available:
