CircleCI

We’re at @qconferences.com 2025 next week! 👋

Come find the CircleCI team to talk pipelines, platform engineering, and how AI is changing software delivery.

Join us: https://qconsf.com/

In town for #MSIgnite or #QConSF next week? Stop by to talk about something that’s on everyone’s mind: AI agents.

Join us & Platform Engineering to discuss how teams are adapting their platforms to handle AI code securely & reliably.

See you there! https://circle.ci/483eng5

Great engineers don’t just ship, they ask why!

In the latest Confident Commit, Rob and Johnny Austin, VP of Engineering at Upwell, talk about hiring devs who challenge the backlog and focus on impact, not output.

CDMX ✈️ NYC ✈️ Tokyo

October consisted of hackathons, table talks, meetups, and so many great conversations around AI and CI/CD!

Huge thanks to everyone who spent time with us and checked out Chunk in action. 🙌

👻 Happy Halloween! 🎃

We asked our team to share their own dev horror stories, and they didn’t disappoint. If you dare, swipe to relive tales of registry overwrites, lost backups, and one epic spam fail.

We’re collecting the spookiest stories from the dev community to help get everyone in the Halloween spirit! Here's @loderunner.bsky.social ⬇️

DORA is right: AI is an amplifier, for better or worse The 2025 DORA report proves AI doesn’t create excellence—it amplifies it. See how your delivery system determines whether AI drives progress or chaos.

The 2025 DORA report is clear: AI amplifies what already exists. Solid systems get stronger, while broken ones break faster.

Here’s how development teams are adapting:

New project, no ticket. 😎

With CircleCI’s Terraform provider, teams spin up projects automatically—complete with configs, secrets, and policies.

Selective overrides = autonomy without risk

CircleCI’s Platform Team Toolkit gives devs room to iterate while orgs stay compliant!

Here’s how it works: https://circle.ci/4mVwY2g

Headed to @leaddev.com NYC? We’ll see you there! 🍎

We'll be on stage introducing Chunk, our new autonomous agent built to help teams ship AI-generated code with confidence.

CampAI w/ @auth0byokta.bsky.social brought hundreds of builders around one metaphorical fire. 🔥

We had so much fun watching founders and engineers connect over how to push software forward, together. Thanks to everyone who joined us!

Agents go beyond code generation. By combining reasoning with memory, control, and tool execution, they can adapt and act inside real systems. In CI/CD, that means fewer flaky tests, fewer blocked builds, and faster delivery.

Running tests on AI features looks just like any other suite! ✅❌

CircleCI’s MCP server brings deterministic testing to LLM-driven apps: https://circle.ci/4n2DhRE

You're shipping code faster with AI. Your CI/CD pipeline hasn't caught up. Chunk by CircleCI: your autonomous validation agent that fixes flaky tests, repairs builds, and optimizes performance while you sleep.

Even with the perfect amount of information, the perfect amount of time, and all the resources, you’d still likely make wrong decisions.

On the latest Confident Commit, Rob sits down with ‪@patkua.bsky.social‬ to talk about building resilient teams in the age of AI: https://youtu.be/HZ8JcBDynfk

Love this small-but-mighty update from @circleci.com: circleci.com/changelog/au...

Rigid standards or total chaos? Platform engineers no longer have to choose!

CircleCI’s Platform Team Toolkit delivers scale, governance, and developer autonomy—all in one.

Is creativity just for artists or is it the hidden skill every engineer relies on daily? 🤔

On the latest Confident Commit, Rob sits down with @colabug.bsky.social to discuss practicing creativity & coaching frameworks that help teams actually grow.

No childhood PC. No early coding projects. Just one game of Minesweeper and someone telling @colabug.bsky.social she was an algorithmic thinker. Next thing she knew? She was writing C!

#WeAreEngineers

@anjuansimmons.com knew he was an engineer the second the lights went out fixing a can opener. The test may have failed, but it definitely sparked his curiosity. 😅

Who else learned by blowing a fuse (literally)?

#WeAreEngineers

Go from idea to a running pipeline in just two minutes—no tickets, no delays!

With our Platform Team Toolkit, devs move fast while platform teams keep control and consistency, without the chaos that comes from unmanaged pipelines.

Rob asked engineers at #LDX3 where their journeys began, and the stories were as delightful as you’d imagine.

Lara? She first learned HTML on Neopets. You could say Neopia was her first bootcamp! 🐱💻

If you’ve ever broken something trying to make it better, this one's for you: circle.ci/42vR9LT

From salvaging a bike in a river to frying a guitar in the name of improvement, Rob understands what drives engineers.

It’s that restless belief that everything could be just a ✨little✨ bit better.
