Git decides. BuildPiper delivers. Production-grade GitOps designed for enterprises needing more than conventional CI/CD. BuildPiper uses Git as the single source of truth to automate, govern, and secure application delivery at scale.

What GitOps Means in BuildPiper #

GitOps in BuildPiper is an operational model where every build, deployment, approval, and release decision is driven by Git events. Code changes, pull requests, and merges automatically trigger governed pipelines, security checks, and release workflows. Instead of manual deployments or fragmented CI/CD tools, teams use Git as the control plane while BuildPiper executes with compliance, auditability, and enterprise-grade controls.
