Builder Code Platform

Providing code management and a CI/CD platform at scale.

Overview

Builder.ai provides a common platform for hosting code repositories and running CI and CD orchestration with self-managed GitLab. This is for the most part completely transparent to our customers, it silently and reliably runs thousands of jobs in the background. We also take the “eat your own dog food” approach with the platform and host all code and deployment jobs for our internal services on the same platform.

Usage example

At Builder.ai we love automating all things. To make this happen, we follow a GitOps like workflow – defining infrastructure, application and application deployment in code. It’s all then orchestrated through GitlabCI.

Architecture

The workers (GitLab runners) will run all jobs and scale on demand using EC2 instances with AutoScaling.
