JetBrains Releases TeamCity 5.0
Newest major release adds Amazon EC2 cloud integration, boosts scalability and further enhances user experience
December 03, 2009
Prague, Czech Republic, December 03, 2009 — JetBrains®, the creators of intelligent, productivity-enhancing development tools, announced today the public availability of TeamCity 5.0, the company’s award-winning distributed build management and continuous integration tool.
TeamCity offers easy setup and delivers out-of-the-box continuous unit testing, sophisticated code quality analysis, and early reporting on build problems. It has a gentle learning curve, so you can quickly improve your release management practices by gradually adopting its advanced features and capabilities.
“Every day we meet more and more customers with large build infrastructures and very high environmental diversity,” – says Pavel Sher, TeamCity Project Manager. “There is definitely a strong demand for an extremely scalable, robust, and ready continuous integration solution – and that’s exactly what the latest TeamCity release is designed to provide. At the same time, we’re still going strong with end-user features for developers, and were able to add a great deal of usability improvements and an enhanced user experience.”
TeamCity 5.0 brings a huge potential improvement in scalability by reinforcing its distributed build grid with Amazon EC2 cloud integration. Features such as build configuration templates, project archiving, and backup&restore eliminate unnecessary redundancy and hassle in configuring large build infrastructures. To make TeamCity feel at home everywhere and benefit developer productivity, we’ve added issue tracker integration, better support for Maven, Command line tool for personal builds, and many other features.

- Project archiving for putting no-longer-active projects out of sight.
