Buildkite Customer Spotlight: Bluecore

Bluecore, a multichannel personalization platform for retail, moved from its previous CI tool to Buildkite due to pricing model limitations and the need for customization and optimization of their CI system. The company's requirements included easy management, single sign-on, and bringing everything in-house for infrastructure. The migration to Buildkite was quick and painless, with 90% of projects being ported within a week. With Buildkite, Bluecore has been able to customize its CI setup using plugins for secret management, test coverage, monorepos, and an autoscaler for Google Cloud. Hosting CI on their infrastructure has improved efficiency by eliminating unnecessary time and costs associated with pulling down build containers and allowed engineers direct access to troubleshoot issues without leaking code onto third-party networks.
