We're excited to share that v2.5.0 of BuildBuddy is live on both Cloud Hosted BuildBuddy and open-source via Github, Docker, and our Helm Charts!

Thanks to everyone using open source, cloud-hosted, and enterprise BuildBuddy. We've made lots of improvements in this release based on your feedback.

In today's BuildBuddy v2.3 release, which is now live on BuildBuddy Cloud, we're launching BuildBuddy Workflows. BuildBuddy Workflows is a Continuous Integration (CI) solution for Bazel repositories hosted on GitHub (with support for other providers coming soon).

Like other CI solutions, Workflows give you the confidence that your code builds successfully and passes all tests before you merge pull requests or deploy a new release.

But because BuildBuddy Workflows were built for Bazel repos and tightly integrated with BuildBuddy RBE and Remote Caching, they are really fast.

Our mission at BuildBuddy is to make developers more productive. When we released the first version of BuildBuddy a little over a year ago, we were blown away by the demand for tools and techniques for speeding up common developer workflows like building, testing, and debugging code. We've been working hard ever since - using our own tools to build the next generation of developer tooling for all.

Today we're excited to announce v2 of BuildBuddy! We've completely revamped our caching and remote build execution infrastructure to give our users and customers the one thing they care about above all else: speed.

Our mission at BuildBuddy is to help developers be more productive. It's our highest priority to make sure that your data is safe so that you can focus on what matters: building your product.

Today, we’re excited to share that BuildBuddy has achieved SOC 2 certification.

The audit was conducted by The Cadence Group, compliance specialists who have performed SOC reporting examinations for some of the largest software companies in the world. Our certification means that we adhere to the highest standards of security, processing integrity, and risk management.

Our SOC 2 Report outlines how we encrypt our customer’s data, control access to our systems, scan for vulnerabilities, respond to incidents, and more.

In addition to completing our SOC 2 audit, we've partnered with Vanta to continuously monitor our SOC 2 compliance and ensure that the security practices we've put in place are being followed.

We’re happy to discuss our security policies in more detail or send over a copy of our SOC 2 report. Please feel free to reach out to us at security@buildbuddy.io for more information!

We're also excited to share that over the coming weeks and months, we'll be open sourcing much more of BuildBuddy - including our remote build execution platform. At BuildBuddy we're firmly committed to open source and believe that a transparent and open model is the only way to build truly great developer infrastructure for all.

To fulfill our mission of bringing the world's best developer tools to every company, we're building a team that's ready to work with the world's best enterprises. That's why we're excited to share today that George Li is joining BuildBuddy to lead our enterprise sales efforts as our Head of Sales.

George joins us from Looker where he served as Head of APAC Sales Engineering. He joined Google Cloud through their acquisition of Looker in February, having helped the company grow to a $2.6B valuation.

We look forward to working alongside George to build the future of developer tools.
