Build on Northflank

Integrate with GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket, and Northflank will immediately sync with all of your repositories, branches, and pull or merge requests.

Seamlessly integrate Northflank with self-hosted GitLab or Enterprise GitHub for advanced use cases.

Simply push to your repository to trigger a build. Build status is immediately viewable via your VCS provider. Pause continuous integration at any time.

Configure rules to determine which branches and pull requests get built based on branch name, commit message, or other user specified file changes.

Use build arguments to make environment variables and secret files available at build time. All variables are stored and injected securely.

View old builds from any branch or PR. Redeploy historical builds or initiate a new build of an old commit with the click of a button.

Simply add a Dockerfile or Buildpack, and Northflank will build and host your images. Custom or Heroku buildpacks can also be used via Git or the Heroku Buildpack repository.

You can contain all of your services in the same place with multiple Dockerfiles and build contexts in a single repository.

Build specific Dockerfile stages for faster and smaller builds. Skip stages that are unnecessary and leverage external base images from private registries.

Build multiple images in parallel or sequential order across one or multiple repositories. Integrate with pipelines for preview, staging, and production builds.

Pull images locally to debug workloads, deploy externally, or use as base images in pipelines.

Trigger one-off builds with custom build arguments outside of your normal CI flow.

Northflank supports both Buildkit and Kaniko so you can always achieve the optimal build output based on your project’s requirements.

Increase your build speed with remote layer caching to make incremental commits faster to deploy.

Save time by not creating duplicate images. Northflank separates the build and release process so you can deploy multiple services from a single build.

Select from plans with different CPU and memory levels based on the requirements of your builds.

Observe builds as they run with real-time log tailing and performance metrics. Receive alerts when builds succeed or fail via Slack, webhook, and more.

Highly performant build infrastructure scaled and operated by Northflank with finely tuned single thread and disk performance.

Designate specialised build clusters with Bring Your Own Cloud. Optimised settings ensure optimal performance and resource utilisation over non-specialised clusters.
