Buildkite is a developer tooling company founded in 2013, known for its continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) platform. The core offering uses a hybrid model, with a control plane hosted in the cloud and agents that run on a customer's own infrastructure. This architecture is designed to provide flexible workflow adaptation for engineering teams. The company is headquartered in Australia and operates globally.
The company's product suite has expanded through both internal development and acquisition. In 2021, it launched Test Analytics for insights into testing processes. In 2023, Buildkite acquired Packagecloud to add native package and artifact management capabilities to its platform. The company states its platform has helped customers reduce build times by up to 90% through massive parallelization.
Buildkite has secured venture capital funding, including a $28 million Series A round in 2020 and a $31 million Series B round in 2022. The company originated as a bootstrapped startup and operates within the developer tools and software engineering industries.
