What is PandaCI?
PandaCI is an open-source continuous integration and continuous deployment platform that enables development teams to write their CI/CD pipelines using TypeScript. By eliminating the need for platform-specific YAML syntax, PandaCI allows developers to leverage a familiar programming language they already know, reducing the learning curve and increasing productivity.
The platform provides cloud-native infrastructure with runners that scale up to 16 cores, supports parallel job execution, offers conditional workflow steps, and includes matrix job capabilities. PandaCI features seamless GitHub integration, secure secret management with branch-specific protection, real-time logging, and a clean, intuitive dashboard for monitoring pipeline execution.

FAQs
-
What happens if I exceed my included build minutes on the free plan?
If you exceed your build minutes on the free plan, your builds will be paused until the next month when your minutes reset. -
How are committers counted in PandaCI?
Committers are users or bots who author commits in your repository. PandaCI first tries to match the committer's VCS account to a PandaCI account, and if no match is found, uses the email address associated with the commit. -
What support options are available with different plans?
The free plan includes basic email support, the Pro plan includes standard email support, and the Enterprise plan includes phone support, dedicated support representatives, and 1:1 onboarding.
