Azure Pipelines

Azure Pipelines is a Microsoft Azure developer tool designed for cloud-based continuous integration and continuous deployment. It allows teams to automate builds and deploy applications across Linux, macOS, and Windows environments. The service supports deploying to any cloud, making it a versatile option for managing software delivery workflows in diverse infrastructure setups.

Choose this service if you need flexible, pay-as-you-go CI/CD capabilities without upfront commitments. A key limitation is that there is no free tier, meaning you will incur costs immediately upon usage. However, the service includes ten free parallel jobs for cloud-based pipelines, which can help offset initial expenses for smaller teams or projects.
