About Buildkite
Buildkite is a CI platform for running build and test pipelines at scale. You run the agents that do the work, on your own machines or in your cloud.
What it does
Buildkite runs your pipelines as a set of jobs and sends them to agents that you connect. Pipelines can be dynamic, with wait steps, block steps, trigger steps and conditional logic. The platform also includes test analytics that group flaky tests, show test trends and help you route failing tests to a workflow. Build annotations and step views make results easier to read.
Key features
- Pipelines with wait, block and trigger steps
- Agents that run on your own infrastructure
- Parallel jobs for faster feedback
- Test analytics and flaky test isolation
- Build annotations and clear step views
Who it's for
Engineering teams with many builds, large test suites or mixed build targets such as mobile, Linux, macOS and GPU workloads. Platform teams who want to control where builds run will find the agent model useful.
Pricing and good to know
The site offers a trial, and pricing details are on the official pricing page. Because the agents run on your side, you need to manage the machines and their capacity. Check how the agents connect to your network and which secrets they can reach before you connect them to production code.
