Stop debugging your pipeline.
Start shipping your code.
Containerized CI/CD pipelines defined in Go. Identical builds on your laptop and in CI.
Containerized CI/CD pipelines defined in Go. Identical builds on your laptop and in CI.
Every team hits the same wall. The build passes on your laptop but breaks in CI. A new developer joins and loses a day setting up their environment. A silent version mismatch ships a broken artifact to production.
You end up debugging your pipeline instead of building your product.
ContainifyCI eliminates this entire class of problems. Define your pipeline in Go, run it in containers, and get identical results everywhere on your machine, your teammate's machine, and CI.
$ engine-ci run
One command. No YAML. No drift. No surprises.
Write your build pipeline in Go a real language with types, tests, and your IDE's full support. No more guessing if your YAML is valid.
Every step runs inside a container with pinned tool versions. What runs on your laptop is exactly what runs in CI.
One binary, zero dependencies. Works anywhere Docker or Podman runs on macOS, Linux, GitHub Actions, or your own infrastructure. Build steps run in parallel where possible.
Supports Go, Java, Python, Zig, and more. See the Technical Deep Dive for language-specific details.
# 1. Install
go install github.com/containifyci/engine-ci@latest
# 2. Initialize your project
engine-ci init
# 3. Build same result everywhere
engine-ci run
engine-ci init creates a .containifyci/containifyci.go file your entire build pipeline in a single Go file that you can read, test, and version-control like any other code.

If ContainifyCI looks useful, consider giving it a star on GitHub — it helps others discover the project.
