My last company were buildkite customers and I was a champion for buildkite. Their offering was superb, and we loved it. This story pretty succinctly explains why we left buildkite - they chased enterprise billing to their success, and left the smaller companies behind. We had built our entire org around buildkite pipelines - using them for everything, because it was a convenient way to run tasks. We had 60 people who weee considered users. On their current pricing that would be $1800/month just for licenses which is nothing for a large company but it was the same cost as the hardware we ran the tasks on, and that wouldn’t fly. We left for team city which still had a viable middle ground for smaller companies. Its a pity because it shows that there’s just so much more money by not catering to tens like ours
