Buildkite Pipelines
Flexible pipelines that adapt to the speed and scale of AI
Buildkite gives platform teams the tools to handle code at scale—unlimited concurrency, dynamic workflows that adapt at runtime, and guardrails to keep teams in control.
Buildkite powers the most demanding and sophisticated software companies in the world.
Scale on demand
Effortlessly provision the exact capacity you need with no limits on parallel builds.
Process workloads at unmatched speeds
Connect unlimited agents to blast through the volume of AI-generated code and scale to thousands of parallel jobs instantly as your development velocity increases.
Operational controls to scale confidently
Monitor, control, and visualize all your pipelines in one dashboard that shows the health and performance of your pipelines.
Smart scaling for monorepos
Process only what's changed across your repository, reducing build times and costs for large monorepos.
Unlimited scale, predictable costs
Our P95 billing ensures you only pay for typical usage while ignoring occasional spikes, removing financial barriers to scaling your CI infrastructure.
“ The ability for Tinder to deliver software quickly and consistently is a strategic priority. To support our business, we require a software delivery system that can handle our scale and adapt to our unique requirements. Buildkite’s platform was the standout choice for us. It’s not just a solution for today; it’s an investment in our long-term strategy. ”

A build agent runs on your infrastructure or on Buildkite-hosted compute, and runs one build job at a time. You can run as many agents as you want, in the same or separate queues, and Buildkite will coordinate the work between them. Agents can be securely and reliably deployed across different networks and environments.
No, you set your own limits with self-hosted agents. Buildkite handles upwards of 100,000 concurrent agents from some customers.
Yes! See Pricing for all the details on the plans.
Buildkite provides an SLA of 99.95% uptime and a status page to track any incidents.
