With two years of experience on Buildkite, I would recommend it to others due to its manageable pipeline and the support team available for big issues. I am satisfied with it, rating its stability an eight out of ten. Overall, I rate Buildkite eight out of ten.
I recommend the product to others who plan to use it. If you use some CI/CD tools like Jenkins, GitLab, or GitHub, then there is no need to get some training in Buildkite. One can start off with Buildkite's documentation, and I feel it would be a very good starting point. Buildkite has impacted our company's software delivery speed and cost significantly after we moved from Jenkins though there is not much of a difference, but Buildkite is a bit quicker. The ease of use of Buildkite is better than that of Jenkins. Buildkite's UI and Ux are better than Jenkins. My company does not have any machine learning projects at the moment. I have not seen any downtime with the tool. I rate the tool as an eight to nine out of ten.

I was working as a DevOps engineer at my last job. It was a startup that helps big companies aggregate their marketing data. The tool also helps generate incremental marketing campaigns, so you know what your customer do and can identify marketing opportunities based on it. My company used to provide a singular view from multiple marketing channels, such as offline, online, Facebook ads, Instagram, or HubSpot. My role at the company was as a DevOps engineer, and we were using Buildkite as our CI/CD platform. I haven't really used a lot of Buildkite agents apart from GitLab CI and GitHub CI. When I started off with the tool, everything was already set up in my previous company. The thing that I like the most about the tool is that it has a really good UI that is very easy to navigate. There are pipelines in the tool, and you can create dynamic pipelines. Based on certain conditions in the script, the pipeline will change, which I think was a very unique feature. My company used to use the self- hosted option, which is a little bit complicated. I would still say it's not as complicated as its competitors like Salesforce. I haven't got a chance to use the tool's AI capabilities. Buildkite could be used as a tool to collaborate with other teams because it has such a great UI. You can always build your pipelines in a way that other teams can understand, and I think that it is the most useful thing about Buildkite because even non-technical people can understand it. Since the tool has a great UI, you can build your pipelines in a way that allows other teams to have a look at it at any time, and they will be able to be in the process and understand what is happening in the background. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.
I suggest exploring other options as well, as your requirements might be met by another product. I'm not sure about their licensing costs since I used it for customers who already had it. My tasks weren't complex, and Buildkite's UI made it easy. My advice is to analyze your requirements, determine how you want to use Buildkite, and compare it with other products on the market. It's possible that its licensing cost is higher than others. It is easy to learn Buildkite. Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. I was able to achieve what I needed, and the documentation was helpful. My requirements weren't complex. I can't give it a higher rating because I don't know enough about its community or market presence. Feature-wise, it was good enough for me.
