About Buildkite
Buildkite is a hybrid CI/CD platform that combines a hosted web interface with self-hosted build agents. This architecture gives teams full control over their build environment while offloading orchestration to the cloud.
The platform supports pipelines defined in YAML or dynamically generated at runtime. Agents run on any infrastructure including bare metal, VMs, Docker, Kubernetes, or cloud instances.
Buildkite is known for fast build times due to its efficient parallelization and agent scaling. Test Analytics identifies flaky tests and slow suites, while Packages provides a package registry.
Popular with engineering teams at scale who need security, speed, and flexibility, Buildkite supports air-gapped environments and complex compliance requirements.
