We've stop/started continus integration a few times with a few different CI servers with mixed success. What did you guys end up using?

Right now, we have tests, but I'd still say we rely pretty heavily on hoptoad to let us know if we really broke something badly. ;)

Yeah, we relied on hoptoad as our backstop too. We used CruiseControl.rb running on a cheap low end server with a plugin for doing deployments.

The code is simple to understand, self contained, based around rake, and worked almost immediately for us (after some configuration). We were a two person team. I don't know if the setup we had would have worked with a larger team.

It felt like it made an impact in our ability to turn code faster. We had a solid test suite, which helped.
