I love BuildKite. It might seem obvious now but I feel like BK had two key ideas -- fully declarative pipelines and a hybrid SaaS control plane / customer-managed workers concept that made it so much easier to deploy into large enterprises. That combined with a UI that was clear and a pleasure to work with.
I do wonder how BK will continue in a world that's increasingly dominated by GitHub and and other integrated solutions, but I hope as long as there's a market for quality tools, BK will survive and thrive.

Buildkite is awesome, by far the best CI product and with an amazing team.

Haha, love it.
An inspirational story for sure!
