From small startups to the largest G100 organizations on the planet, see why teams choose CircleCI to build fast, commit code with confidence, and gain a differentiating edge with smart automations.

Speed at scale

Through our thoughtfully-designed platform architecture and by giving developers powerful controls over their pipelines, we’re able to maximize build efficiency across projects and remove impediments to developers.

CI/CD built for performance:

  • Customizable RAM and CPU for different jobs
  • Workflows to help manage job orchestration
  • Parallelism to maximize build efficiency
  • SSH access into failed builds for easy debugging

Build and deploy with confidence

CircleCI simplifies the most complex parts of DevOps processes, letting engineering teams get to work doing what they’re best at—building great products. Fast feedback from CircleCI results in better decisions, better security, and higher throughput.

Trust your build process with:

  • Fast feedback on passing and failing builds
  • Workflow graph for easy visualization of build data
  • Orbs (reusable packages of config) for third-party integrations

Automation and intelligence for innovative teams

CircleCI lets teams build fully-automated pipelines, from testing to deployment, allowing them to focus on the real work of innovation. Using CircleCI, engineers can automate their entire testing suite for new commits, reducing the potential for human error, while using orbs to automate deploys.

Build smarter with:

  • Test metadata to help reveal flaky tests
  • Test splitting to increase build efficiency
  • Autoscaling to match customer demand
  • Orbs to help automate repeated processes across projects
