## Source excerpt

As I've written before, I'm always on the lookout for a great continuous integration and delivery system. For a long time I used CircleCI, but in the last month or so I've started hitting some limitations that I needed to work around. My requirements are pretty standard, I need something that works well with Android, requires minimal maintenance, and can handle somewhat larger projects. After a souring experience with CircleCI, and a short search for other hosted providers, I stumbled upon an early solution from Google that intrigued me.
