Buildkite is a CI/CD platform for running fast, secure, and scalable continuous integration pipelines on a hybrid architecture that keeps code on the customer's own infrastructure while the control plane runs in the cloud. It includes Pipelines for building CI/CD workflows, Test Engine for flaky test detection and test splitting, Package Registries for supply-chain security and package management, and Mobile Delivery Cloud for mobile app delivery. Builds can run on self-hosted agents or on Buildkite-hosted Mac and Linux agents.
