Buildkite is a CI/CD platform for engineering teams that build, test and deploy software, with the option to run jobs on agents they host themselves. It also offers hosted Linux, Mac and Windows agents, a Test Engine and package registries. The vendor says it is engineered for frontier scale and names companies such as OpenAI, Shopify and Uber as users.
Teams define pipelines in code and connect their source repository. Buildkite orchestrates the pipeline in its cloud while jobs run on agents that the team hosts or on Buildkite hosted agents. Test Engine and dashboards report on build and test performance.
Buildkite is used by engineering teams that need control over build infrastructure or run very large build volumes. Vendor-named customers include OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral AI, SpaceX, Meta, Shopify, Perplexity, Reddit, Discord, Figma, Lyft and Pinterest. The vendor cites Uber running about 100,000 concurrent agents.
Free is $0 for up to 5 users, 10 concurrent jobs and 2,000 Linux vCPU minutes per month. Pro is $30 per active user per month for up to 50 users, with 10 concurrent agents included. Enterprise is custom, with a 30-user minimum, unlimited self-hosted agents and a 99.95% uptime commitment. Hosted Linux agents cost $0.004 per vCPU minute on Pro. Free and Pro start with a 30-day all-access trial without a credit card.
Buildkite works with test frameworks including RSpec, Jest, pytest, Playwright, Go and JUnit, and with Kubernetes, Bazel and GitHub commit statuses. It supports LLM providers with your own API key and has a plugin ecosystem.
CircleCI is a hosted CI/CD service with a simpler setup and a managed build fleet, whereas Buildkite centers on your own agents. TeamCity is JetBrains' CI server that is commonly self-hosted. Harness is a broader delivery platform that also covers CD, feature flags and cost management.
