Australian DevOps automation startup Buildkite Pty. Ltd. today announced the launch of its Scale-Out Delivery Platform, a solution that provides adaptability and scalability for demanding and complex computing environments.
The new platform comes with a number of new products that combat bottlenecks in the software delivery process across a broad range of use cases, including core enterprise infrastructure platforms, advanced artificial intelligence and machine language workloads and hyperscale mobile applications.
The new tools, which are focused on enhancing software delivery automation, include Buildkite Pipelines, a service that provides a scalable workflow orchestration engine with flexible, programmable automation for efficient software delivery. Additionally, Buildkite Test Engine unifies test suites, enabling distributed, intelligent test execution with real-time insights.
The platform also introduces Buildkite Package Registries, a high-performance asset management service with rapid indexing and enhanced security features. Lastly, Buildkite Mobile Delivery Cloud offers a preconfigured cloud environment optimized for mobile app delivery.
The Buildkite Scale-Out Delivery Platform offers core capabilities designed for flexibility and efficiency. Its Scale-Out Compute, powered by a hybrid architecture, allows users to run pipelines in a variety of environments, including self-hosted, multi-cloud, or on-premises setups. Scale-Out Workloads enables comprehensive support for all software delivery use cases on a single platform.
Another feature, Scale-Out Concurrency, eliminates build process bottlenecks, streamlining operations for large engineering teams working with complex technologies. Scale-Out components allow businesses to customize their delivery systems while maintaining security, using an open-source build agent that ensures proprietary code and secrets remain protected from third parties, including Buildkite.
The company’s Scale-Out concurrency allows developers to run one hundred times more agents and workflows than other delivery platforms and lets users ship software up to six faster.
“Modern software delivery is fraught with complexity and the best developer teams use a ‘delivery first’ mindset—treating delivery as an integral part of the product and not just an operational burden,” Keith Pitt, chief executive officer and founder of Buildkite, commented on the release. “Our new Scale-Out Delivery Platform provides the tooling, patterns and best practices of the world-class software companies that have made Buildkite their standard, to all enterprises.”
Software delivered through the Buildkite platform is currently used by more than 1 billion people daily, according to the company, which counts among its customers Airbnb Inc., Block Inc., Canva Pty. Ltd., Cruise LLC, Elastic N.V., Lyft Inc. and Uber Technologies Inc.
