Build Retention

Posted October 03, 2022 by Samuel

Today, we're introducing build retention controls for pipelines so you can automatically remove old builds ⏰🧨

Build retention configuration panel showing options including time period and number of builds to keep

You can now configure pipelines to keep builds for a certain period of time. There's also an option to always keep a minimum number of the latest builds, so you don't lose context on pipelines that don't move quite so fast. These are available today — find any pipeline, then go to Settings, Builds, and look for the Build Retention section.

This change is currently optional, but we'll be announcing a broader rollout for build retention soon.

We'd love to hear from you if you find these controls useful, or if they don't quite fit your needs first. Drop into our Slack community, or send us an email: hello@buildkite.com 👋
