Build Environments
CircleCI lets you customize the execution environment to match the needs of your software, using any Docker image, a Linux VM, or a macOS VM. Whether you’re building a website, a multi-platform mobile app, or systems software, CircleCI gives you a clean, customizable environment for every job.
Run your jobs in any Docker image
