72-day clean streakMeasured by FlareWarden's own checks of api.buildkite.com from multiple regions every 6 hours. Buildkite's status page sets the verdict above when it reports trouble, but never these figures. Percentages count only checks that returned an availability answer — 72 days measured so far. A dash means that window does not yet hold enough measured days to publish a figure.
What Buildkite does
Buildkite runs CI/CD pipelines in which the build agents run on infrastructure you control. Buildkite hosts the pipeline definitions, scheduling and the web dashboard, while the machines that compile and test code stay inside your own network. Engineering teams pick it to keep source and build secrets off a vendor's servers while still getting hosted orchestration.
What an outage looks like
Builds sit queued and never start, because agents poll the Agent API for work and receive nothing. Jobs already running usually finish, since that work happens on your machines, but results fail to upload and the pipeline never advances. The dashboard may be slow or error, and REST API calls from deploy scripts start failing.
What to do about it
Read the component list on Buildkite's status page rather than the headline: Web, Agent API, REST API, Remote MCP Server and Job Queue each fail on their own, and Job Queue is the one that stalls builds. Agents reconnect by themselves once the API returns, so restarting them rarely helps. Avoid re-triggering builds, which deepens the backlog.
Is it down for everyone, or just you?
If this page says Buildkite is up but it is not loading for you, the problem is between you and them. Run a check against any URL from up to 17 cities across three regions to find out where it breaks.

How we measure this
- We request Buildkite's public endpoint every 6 hours from Fly.io regions across six continents — the most recent check ran from 8 of them. When you open this page and our last check is more than 30 minutes old, we check again on the spot; those checks update the verdict, never the availability figures.
- A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A
403or429means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage. - A single failing region is treated as probe noise. Our checks only change their verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
- Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
- Where Buildkite publishes an official status feed we read it too, and the verdict is the worse of what it reports and what our checks see: a major outage of Buildkite itself is Down, trouble with one part of it is Degraded, problems at a few of a provider's many locations change nothing, and a security notice that marks nothing down is shown but changes nothing either. We check the feed every 3 minutes and read it again within minutes of any change to its incidents or components; a reading counts for 45 minutes after the last check that found nothing changed. The availability figures above are our measurement alone.
Get alerted when Buildkite goes down
We check Buildkite every 6 hours, and again when you open this page if that was more than 30 minutes ago. Your own monitors run as often as every 30 seconds, from up to 17 cities across three regions, and tell you the moment something breaks.
