Break free from constraints and optimize your CI/CD to work how you want. Get the freedom and control you’re missing with Buildkite Pipeline’s flexible building blocks.
Tailor your CI/CD to your unique processes, tech stack, and needs.
Buildkite pioneered the hybrid approach to CI/CD—separating a SaaS control plane and self-hosted runners. Our flexible architecture means that you can customize and control your build environment to your team’s exact requirements, while taking advantage of our powerful orchestration engine and developer platform.
You own the build environment and configure the agents running there, so you can fine-tune them to suit your needs—speed, cost, risk reduction, it’s up to you.
Monitor, control, and visualize all your pipelines in one place with Buildkite’s intuitive web app. Take action from metrics that show the health and performance of your pipelines.
Our control plane orchestrates massive scale. Easily run hundreds of thousands of concurrent builds to get results quickly.
Dedicate more and faster agents to pipelines with heavy workloads. Use smaller, cheaper agents for less important tasks.
Run your tests in an environment matching production.
Retrieve data and update Buildkite’s control plane through REST, GraphQL, and webhooks.
Introducing: Buildkite hosted agents. Powerful compute tailored for CI/CD workloads.
With hosted agents, Buildkite offers a fully managed CI/CD solution that includes both the control plane and build environment. Buildkite handles scaling, caching, operating, and updating the infrastructure for you, all built from our expertise powering CI/CD for the world’s top tech performers.
With all the cloud resources in the world, why wait for a build to begin?
By giving you full control over the build environment with self-hosted agents, you decide how fast you want your builds to run. Buildkite keeps things flexible and extensible so that platform limitations won't block your performance goals.
Eliminate excessive network costs and underutilized, expensive, and inefficient compute.
Act on insights from Buildkite to improve build times, agent availability, and wait times.
Experiment with changes locally before updating the pipeline for others.
Don’t write thousands of lines of YAML to account for every possible condition. Create a maintainable system that only uploads necessary steps for each run—no more wasted cycles.
You control the number of agents available for a pipeline. Keep a pool ready to go, or spin up as needed, and customize the time between work appearing and work starting.
Run agents in parallel, prioritize certain tasks to always run first, create concurrency groups, and use dependencies to eliminate unnecessary waiting. There’s an approach for every scale.
You can’t leak sensitive data when you don’t have access to it.
Self-hosted agents run pipelines in your build environment, keeping all data within your security perimeter. The agents access your source code, run builds, and report the results to Buildkite. Buildkite never needs access to your source code, secrets, or internal systems. You can even check out the agent code yourself—it’s open source.
