Test Mac alongside your other workflows

Run your iOS and macOS builds on the same platform as your other workloads: Buildkite.

Buildkite dashboard

Buildkite’s Mac Hosted Agents have been faultless. They have enabled our dev teams to move faster by utilizing more concurrent agents than our previous EC2 metal Mac agents ever could, while removing the burden of patching the underlying OS and managing the scaler lambda. All of this for only a few dollars a month!

Use compute optimized for CI/CD

Run on machines made for burst computing

Buildkite’s hosted compute racks are designed to optimize each machine for fast response and execution times rather than long-running tasks.

Mac and Linux machine

Build faster on high-performance CPUs

Each core is optimized for performance rather than packing in slower cores for more workloads.
