Our take
With researchers predicting that the CI/CD tools (delivery software automation tools) market will grow by 18% by 2031, now is a better time than any for companies like Buildkite to find clients. Founded in Australia in 2014, Buildkite is well placed to find delivery company clients in the 2020s from its huge landmass and export home country Australia.
Buildkite design tools and platforms for eCommerce, communications, and delivery companies as large as Shopify and Intercom. In 2022, it was awarded $21 million in Series B which it plans to use to develop new products. This is off the back of the success of its Test Analytics tool which can help test the reliability of test suites for developers.
Buildkite still has some tricks up its sleeve and continues to develop new suites of products for software clients, showing that it is a still-relevant company amidst a lot of competition.
