Why Concourse CI?
Pipelines as Code
Declarative YAML pipelines live in version control alongside your code. No UI-based configuration or plugin sprawl.
Container-Native
Every task runs in an isolated container. Reproducible builds with zero environment drift between local and CI.
Visual Pipeline UI
Real-time visualization of pipeline state with streaming logs. Instantly see bottlenecks and failures.
