Why choose CircleCI over GitHub Actions?
Customizable, scalable, developer-focused CI/CD.
Validate changes quickly
Our native testing and debugging tools help developers rapidly find and fix errors.
Trusted by leading companies
Top organizations use CircleCI to automate their development cycle so they can focus on building better products.
More powerful automation
Customize operating systems, CPUs, GPUs, memory, and images for each job.
Fix bugs faster
Our native testing and debugging tools do more than just tell you if your checks passed.
-
SSH debugging
Securely access any job on CircleCI via SSH to debug builds and tests in real-time.
-
Automatic test splitting
Shorten the feedback loop by automatically splitting your tests across parallel instances of the same job.
-
Test metadata
Collect XML or JSON-formatted metadata from your CircleCI jobs to locate flaky tests and optimize your test suites.
“With CircleCI’s flexible caching capabilities we were able to increase concurrency, deliver value faster, and our feedback loop was faster.”

“LaunchDarkly was built on CircleCI. It would have been very difficult to get to where we are now without its simplicity and power.”
Andrew Brown
Senior Software Engineer at LaunchDarkly
“What makes me most confident in CircleCI is knowing that I have full control over the process, and this platform can scale with whatever my needs are.
With CircleCI, things can move through the release process more quickly. It probably means an extra release a day that we couldn't do before.”
Josh Bazemore
Engineering Manager, Tools and Operations at Greenhouse
“Our code is our secret sauce. It’s nice knowing that it’s running on our own servers and network that we have full control over.”
Adrian Macneil
Director of Infrastructure Engineering at Cruise
