CI/CD

Automate your builds, tests, and deploys.

CI/CD tools automate the build, test, and deploy steps that would otherwise be manual and easy to skip under time pressure. Most integrate directly with your Git provider and run on every push or pull request. Start with a simple pipeline that runs tests and deploys on merge, then add more stages as the project actually needs them.

Buildkite

You bring your own compute and Buildkite handles orchestration and the UI. Good once you need self-hosted runners without giving up a managed pipeline experience.

↗

CircleCI

A mature, dedicated CI platform that's still actively developed. A reasonable option if GitHub Actions' limits start to bite.

↗

Depot

Drop-in replacement for docker build that runs on beefier remote machines with persistent cache, so Docker image builds in CI go from minutes to seconds.

↗

GitHub Actions

The obvious choice if your code's already on GitHub. Workflows live right next to the repo and the marketplace has an action for almost anything.

↗

GitLab CI/CD

The strongest pick if you want repo, CI/CD, and security scanning in one platform instead of stitching tools together.
