Buildkite announced the Build Matrix, a feature to create multiple jobs from a multi-variant step definition.
The Build Matrix allows interpolation of matrix values into command steps and environment variables, simplifying complex pipelines.
Use cases include reducing a 402-line pipeline to 160 lines, demonstrating significant efficiency gains.
Additional power user features introduced, such as adding multiple dimensions and grouping matrix jobs.
The new feature is currently available to all Buildkite customers, with extensive documentation provided.

Buildkite provides a continuous integration and delivery platform (CI/CD) that allows development teams to automate their software build, test, and deployment processes. The platform is designed to scale on a team's own infrastructure, with features like dynamic agent spawning for unlimited concurrency, monorepo support, and customizable pipelines. It enables developers to fine-tune performance and supports various environments and languages, including web and mobile. Buildkite emphasizes productivity by reducing build times and maintaining reliability through consistency across test and production environments. Users can extend its functionality with plugins and have control over their pipelines for a customized development experience.
