Compare Buildkite vs. CircleCI

Deploy the open-source buildkite-agent within your own environment for optimal speed, enhanced control, and robust security. This agent is responsible for checking out your source code, executing tailored hooks and overrides, and subsequently carrying out your build tasks, ensuring that your source code remains securely on your own infrastructure. You can easily install the agent via a variety of packages and binaries compatible with numerous platforms and architectures, such as Ubuntu, Debian, Mac, Windows, Docker, and many others. With its artifact and metadata storage capabilities, the agent facilitates share-nothing, state-free build jobs that can be effortlessly distributed and scaled across multiple agents. You have the flexibility to run as many build agents as you require (up to 10,000 connected per account), all while maintaining smooth operations. The open-source Elastic CI Stack for AWS provides a straightforward method to maintain a scalable CI stack that adapts to your needs within your own AWS account. Alternatively, if you prefer a more personalized approach, you have the option to leverage the tools with which you are already familiar in your production environments, such as Packer and Terraform, allowing for a seamless integration of your existing workflows. This adaptability ensures that your CI/CD processes can evolve alongside your project requirements.
