CircleCI

Definition

CircleCI is a cloud-native CI/CD platform that executes build, test, and deployment pipelines in isolated Docker containers or VMs. It supports orbs (reusable configuration packages), parallelism, test splitting, and caching to optimize pipeline performance.

CircleCI is popular in SaaS companies for its fast spin-up times and rich integration ecosystem.
