Buildkite Setup Guide

Buildkite is a continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) platform for software development teams to automate their build, test, and deployment processes. It provides a centralized platform for defining and managing pipelines, which are sequences of steps that run in response to code changes. It offers a scalable, secure, and flexible environment that enables teams to focus on writing code rather than managing the underlying infrastructure.

You can replicate the data from your Buildkite account to a Destination database or data warehouse using Hevo Pipelines. Refer to section, Data Model for the list of supported objects.

Hevo uses the Buildkite REST API to replicate the data present in your Buildkite account to the desired Destination database or data warehouse for scalable analysis.


Source Considerations

  • Pagination: An API call for each Buildkite object fetches one page with up to 100 records.

  • Rate Limit: Buildkite imposes a limit of 100 API calls per minute per access token. If the limit is exceeded, Hevo defers the ingestion till the limits reset.


Limitations

  • Hevo currently does not support deletes for Buildkite. Therefore, any data deleted in the Source may continue to exist in the Destination.

  • Hevo does not load data from a column into the Destination table if its size exceeds 16 MB, and skips the Event if it exceeds 40 MB. If the Event contains a column larger than 16 MB, Hevo attempts to load the Event after dropping that column’s data. However, if the Event size still exceeds 40 MB, then the Event is also dropped. As a result, you may see discrepancies between your Source and Destination data. To avoid such a scenario, ensure that each Event contains less than 40 MB of data.
