BuildKite is a relative new CI toolkit I would like to replace Jenkins with. Here are some pros and cons I thought I could share:

Pros:

• Designed with containers(docker) in mind.
• Hybrid architecture, console as a hosted service where agents can run anywhere with internet connectivity
• Build pipeline as code, also very easy to write because it’s just yaml
• Parallelism in pipeline
• It’s made in Melbourne
• Artifacts can be stored in own S3 bucket
• Well organised UI with a neat github like style

Cons:

• If there are lots of agents running, some orchestration is needed
• Some features are in beta quality still
