Drone.io is a container-native Continuous Integration (CI) platform designed to automate the software build and testing process for development teams. It integrates seamlessly with multiple source code management systems such as GitHub, GitHub Enterprise, Bitbucket, and GitLab, making it versatile for various development environments. Drone.io supports multiple operating systems and architectures, including Linux x64, ARM, ARM64, and Windows x64, and works with any language, database, or service that runs inside a Docker container. This flexibility allows developers to choose from thousands of public Docker images or provide their own, tailoring the CI pipeline to their specific needs.
Drone.io primarily serves busy development teams looking for a self-service CI solution to replace aging systems like Jenkins. The platform's ease of use and simplicity have led to its adoption in over 5,000 self-hosted installations. Following its acquisition by Harness, Drone.io continues to operate as an open-source platform, with significant investments planned to enhance its community, platform, and mission.
The business model of Drone.io revolves around providing a robust CI platform that helps development teams build and test software quickly and securely. By automating these processes, Drone.io reduces the time and effort required for software development, thereby increasing productivity and efficiency. The company generates revenue through its open-source model, supplemented by investments from its parent company, Harness.
