Benefit from advanced integrations automating even further your performance testing cycles with partners such as Platfom.sh.
Configuration Management
Blackfire can be configured via popular configuration management tools. We officially maintain a Docker integration. More integrations are available in open source communities.
Contact us if you built your own, and would like to be listed here!
Git repository management
Whenever your infrastructure enables you to deploy git branches, Blackfire can run tests on the deployed environments, and feedback to your git repository management tool on the commit status. Did your tests pass or fail?
Never let a commit be merged without having the keys to decide.
Continuous Integration services
Using Blackfire.io during your continuous integration workflow is a best practice in application management. Blackfire natively supports integrations with popular continuous integration platforms to ease testing and validation of the performance of your app.
PHP Testing suites
Blackfire lets developers write tests on stable metrics that are related to the root causes of performance issues instead of time. Using such metrics in a unit test suite is a powerful option.
Add Blackfire tests directly into your testing suite with our PHP SDK.
Instant messaging

Frameworks
Blackfire works for any PHP or Python code. For some frameworks, the Blackfire team and Blackfire Solution Partners have created specific performance recommendations, which will be prompted only if your code is based on those frameworks.
