Cloud Build

Cloud Build is a serverless CI/CD platform that executes builds on Google Cloud infrastructure to automate software delivery.

Cloud Build handles the heavy lifting of continuous integration and delivery by executing your build steps inside isolated Docker containers. It scales instantly from simple code linting to complex multi-stage deployments across GKE, Cloud Run, and App Engine. You define your workflow in a cloudbuild.yaml file, pull source code from providers like GitHub or Bitbucket, and produce verified artifacts (including Docker images and Java archives) that meet SLSA level 3 security standards. With its pay-as-you-go model and 120 free build-minutes per day, it eliminates the overhead of managing dedicated build servers while maintaining high-speed performance.
