Buildkite Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Senior Engineering Consultant at ASSURANCE IQ, INC.4.5I use Buildkite in my company for managing CI/CD pipelines, primarily for merging codes and running unit tests. While it's easy to integrate with AWS and track projects, we face issues with parallel execution time and testing framework limitations.
Senior Software Engineer at Seek4.5I find Buildkite easy to learn and integrate into our development process, particularly for projects involving both front-end and back-end. It works well with AWS, is cost-effective for large organizations, and supports our multiple deployment stages seamlessly.
Information Technology Specialist at Techn IT Solutions4.5I find Buildkite valuable because it allows us to self-host agents and run them on our AWS instances. While I haven't used it for six months, I appreciate its UI and developer-friendly features over alternatives like Jenkins and GitLab.
Sr. DevOps Engineer at Bank aletihad4.5I use Buildkite for CI/CD to improve build times, enjoying its plugins, scalability, and pipeline options. Although integration is seamless, it could benefit from shared or cloud agents like GitHub Actions to optimize resource use and costs.
Freelancer at geelen.io ·3.5I use Buildkite primarily because Docker needs image building for containers. I appreciate its workflow management and smart caching for Docker builds, though I find the Directed Acyclic Graphs confusing and prefer the logging experience of GitHub Workflows.
Tech Architect at Provar4.0I use Buildkite for integrating with Solenopsis in CI/CD pipelines, focusing on automated tasks in Docker containers. Its intuitive UI and detailed logging are valuable, though the community is smaller than competitors like Azure DevOps and Jenkins.
Member of Technical Staff at VMware by Broadcom4.0We use Buildkite for our continuous integration pipeline; it's easy to integrate with AWS or Google Cloud, has helpful documentation, and logs failures efficiently. However, integration with chat applications is challenging, requiring third-party tools or webhooks.
AWS DevOps Engineer at IBM4.0I use Buildkite for deployment, finding its pipeline manageable and support good for big issues. However, manual AWS/Connect changes often cause syntax errors and rework. Despite this, I recommend it for its manageability and support, rating it 8/10.
