CircleCI is a continuous integration and continuous delivery platform that can be used to implement DevOps practices.[4] The company was founded in September 2011 and has raised $315 million in venture capital funding as of 2021,[3] at a valuation of $1.7 billion.[2] CircleCI is one of the world's most popular CI/CD platforms.[5][6]

History

The company was founded in September 2011.[3] The product was first released for beta testing on October 11, 2011.[7] The first customers appeared three months after starting the company,[8] while it was 6 months before the first payment.[9] In 2013 CircleCI suffered a major data breach due to its provider MongoHQ, but was able to quickly respond and replace its security keys, resulting in almost no lost customers.[10]

Typed Clojure was used at CircleCI in production systems from September 2013 to September 2015.[11]

In 2014, Paul Biggar left the company, but remained on the board.[8] The company grew quickly from 20 employees at the end of 2014 to 60 employees in summer 2016.[12]

In 2016, there was some controversy when Uber, who shared an office building with the company, redesigned their logo to be quite similar to CircleCI's.[13] Another very similar logo to CircleCI's can be found in the 2017 film The Circle.

In October 2018, CircleCI became the first CI/CD tool authorized by FedRAMP.[14]

In August 2019 CircleCI made support for Windows builds generally available.[15] That same month, there was a data breach in a third-party analytics vendor account used by CircleCI.[16]

In November 2019 CircleCI opened an office in London.[17]

Financing

CircleCI has raised $50k from a small investor a few months after starting,[18] $1.5m in seed funding in 2013,[19][20] a $6m Series A round from DFJ in 2014, a $18M Series B financing round from Scale Venture Partners in 2016, a $31M Series C led by Top Tier Capital Partners in 2018,[21] a $56M Series D led by Owl Rock Capital and NextEquity Partners in 2019,[22] a $100M Series E round led by IVP in 2020,[4] and a $100M Series F round led by Greenspring Associates in 2021.[2] In total this is $315 million in funding.[3]

Acquisitions

CircleCI acquired Distiller in 2014 and Vamp in 2021.[3][2]

Product

CircleCI monitors GitHub, GitHub Enterprise, and Atlassian Bitbucket repositories and launches builds for each new commit.[23] CircleCI automatically tests builds in either Docker containers or virtual machines and deploys passing builds to target environments.[22] A dashboard and API allow tracking the status of builds and metrics related to builds.[24] A Slack integration notifies teams if issues arise.[4][25]

SSH support allows locally running jobs, and security measures prevent tampering.[22] CircleCI also offers a workflow approval feature that pauses the job(s) until manual approval is given.[26]

CircleCI supports Go, Java, Ruby, Python, Scala, Node.js, PHP, Haskell, and any other language that runs on Linux or macOS.[27]

The company offers a managed cloud service with a free tier available.[28] The platform can also be self-hosted on a private server (behind a corporate firewall), or as a private deployment in the cloud.[29][30] The cloud service was initially written from scratch but now uses HashiCorp's Nomad and Kubernetes.[31]

CircleCI reduces risk by ensuring frequent testing and releases, and with the managed cloud service, takes care of CI infrastructure maintenance and provisioning.[12] The cloud service can be set up within minutes, but is less customizable than Jenkins.[32]

Orbs

Orbs are shareable snippets of YAML that can be used to simplify CircleCI builds and perform deployments.[2][33][34] CircleCI had integrations with 45 partners as of 2019.[22] CircleCI's target deployment environments include Amazon Web Services, Heroku, Azure, Google Compute Engine, Docker images, and virtual Linux, Android, Windows, or macOS machines with VMware.[35] In 2018 CircleCI's config.yml was the fastest growing YAML file on GitHub.[36]

The proprietary configuration syntax introduces vendor lock-in, meaning that switching CI services requires rewriting the pipeline.[37]

Customers

Facebook, Coinbase, Sony, Kickstarter, GoPro, and Spotify use CircleCI.[22][2]
