We're building the future of CI/CD

PipeForge was born from the frustration of wrestling with slow, complex CI/CD systems. We believe developers deserve pipelines that are fast to write, fast to run, and easy to debug.

Our Story

Jordan and Casey met while debugging a CI pipeline at 3am. The pipeline had been running for 47 minutes when it failed on a flaky test — with no cache, no parallelism, and error messages that told you nothing.

They knew there had to be a better way. Existing CI/CD tools were either too simple for real workloads or too complex for anyone to configure correctly. The gap in the middle was where most teams lived — and suffered.

PipeForge started as an open-source YAML pipeline runner with one goal: make CI/CD as fast and predictable as your local dev environment. Two years later, we're processing over 2 million builds per day for teams ranging from solo developers to Fortune 500 companies.
