CircleCI

Teams are producing more code than ever, thanks to AI. But shipping hasn’t kept pace with those gains. Validation process has become the bottleneck. Top performers are solving this with autonomous CI/CD.

CircleCI is a dedicated CI/CD platform built for teams who need advanced pipeline orchestration, superior performance, and enterprise-grade support. Our platform delivers industry-leading build times, advanced security features, and the scalability to handle any workload.

CircleCI is more than just a CI/CD tool - it's a complete developer platform built for the long haul. We understand the challenges of scaling development processes, which is why we offer solutions that grow with you. From reducing pipeline duration to automating compliance, CircleCI puts time back in your developers' hands and empowers your entire organization. Curious about the potential impact on your team? Watch our demo or speak with our sales team to explore the possibilities.

Teams are writing dramatically more code, but fewer changes are reaching production. Analysis of over 28 million CI workflows shows AI accelerating development while exposing a growing delivery bottleneck. A small group of top performers is shipping faster and more reliably, but most teams are falling behind as validation, integration, and recovery struggle to keep pace. In this report, you’ll learn: -Why AI-driven code growth is outpacing delivery, and where pipelines break first -Which delivery metrics are declining most under AI scale (and why) -How top-performing teams turn higher change volume into faster, more reliable releases -How autonomous validation closes the gap between AI coding speed and shipped software Download the 2026 State of Software Delivery, sponsored by Thoughtworks, to see where your team stands in the performance divide and get the benchmarks you need to turn AI code into shipped software.

Ship as fast as you can generate code, without compromise. CircleCI's autonomous validation platform anticipates issues, optimizes performance, and ensures production-grade quality 24/7. Speed without sacrifice—perfect deployments from imperfect AI code.
