Hi I’m Keith, Buildkite CEO.

You caught us! Well spotted.

We had such little success with the $9 plan. When people upgraded, they generally chose the more expensive option. Knowing this, we removed it to see what happens to upgrade rates. We might even increase the free offering to balance it out, not sure yet.

Pricing is dark art of science, economics, research and “making shit up”. I dunno if this iteration is any better, but we’ll see!

Oh hai!

Cool, we're on it :ok-hand:

All of them eventually! JavaScript (and friends) is up next. Which test runner do you use? Jest?

As someone who has either written, or reviewed every single line of code in Buildkite, I can tell you that there is no backdoor. If anything, we are constantly asking ourselves “how can we protect the customer from us in the unlikely event we were compromised”. Also, with how modern software delivery works, it’s impossible for an employee to make a change without someone noticing.
