Elastic CI by Buildkite

A simple, flexible, auto-scaling cluster of build agents run

What it does

We wanted to make it easier for any team to setup their build stack on AWS, so working with some of our best customers (👋 99designs) we’ve created the <a href="https://github.com/buildkite/elastic-ci-stack-for-aws"><strong>Elastic CI Stack for AWS</strong></a>: a pre-built CI and CD stack that gives you an autoscaling build cluster in your own AWS VPC.

Using Buildkite you can scale your CI pipelines using the same techniques you use to scale production servers, which for many teams has meant creating an AWS-based Buildkite Agent cluster to horizontally scale capacity depending on your build queue. Shopify’s agent cluster for example runs 50,000 build jobs per day across a fleet of Buildkite agents, scaling up during the day for maximum performance, and scaling down at night to save on server costs.

    Hey HN! We just launched open sign up on Buildstash. It's a platform for managing and sharing software binaries. I'd worked across game dev, mobile apps, and agencies - and found every team had no real system for managing their built binaries. Often just dumped in a shared folder (if someone remembered!). No system for versioning, keeping track of who'd signed off what when, or what exact build had gone to a client, etc. Existing tools out there for managing build artifacts are really focused on package repository management. But miss all the other types of software not being deployed that…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
