Code storage and delivery 8 companies

Developers plan work in an issue tracker and store code in a repository. Every change then goes through a pipeline that builds it, tests it and releases it automatically. This is called CI/CD (continuous integration and continuous delivery).

Plan, store and release

The tracker, the repository, the pipeline and the store for finished software.

Code analysis 2 companies

Some tools look at the whole body of code: how the parts of an application fit together, and how much real work each change represents.

APIs and developer building blocks 6 companies

An API is the interface through which one piece of software talks to another. Developers use tools to design and test APIs, gateways to protect them, and ready-made parts so they do not build everything themselves.

APIs and building blocks

API tools, gateways and ready-made parts.

What's changing

AI agents are becoming users of these tools.

These tools were built for people clicking through screens. AI coding agents now open tickets, add code and start pipelines too, so tool makers are adding ways for agents to use the tools directly, and controls on what an agent may do.
