Buildkite is a CI/CD platform built around a hybrid model: it provides a hosted control plane while build agents run on the customer's own infrastructure. It targets teams that want scalable, self-hosted build agents while retaining a managed orchestration layer, with native container support. It integrates with GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket repositories. A free tier is available for small teams and open-source projects, with paid plans above it; the platform itself is proprietary, though the agent is open-source. It holds SOC 2 compliance and sits in the mid pricing tier.
