Upgrade Your AWS Deploy Orb to Get Deploy Markers

Upgrade to the latest version of your AWS deploy orb to get automatic registration of deploy markers. This will give you instant access to deployment timeline, auto-rollback, and version comparison when something breaks — for about five minutes of effort. It will also switch you to OIDC, so there are no long-lived keys to manage. It’s a single version bump. Here’s how.

5 takeaways from the State of Software Delivery Q2 Pulse report

AI is pushing code volume up almost everywhere. Shipping it is still the hard part, and the gap between leaders and everyone else is getting wider. Today we’re releasing the 2026 State of Software Delivery Q2 Pulse report, a shorter check-in between our annual reports. We analyzed more than 20 million CircleCI workflows from March 2026 to see what’s changed since the comprehensive 2026 State of Software Delivery report we published in Q1.

How to Set Up Codex with CircleCI Plugin (Full Demo)

Learn how to connect OpenAI Codex to CircleCI so your coding agent can check pipelines, diagnose failed builds, fix bugs, and iterate until your CI pipeline is green. In this step-by-step demo, we walk through how to install and authenticate the CircleCI CLI, install the CircleCI plugin for Codex, validate your CircleCI configuration, and give Codex direct access to CI feedback. You’ll see how Codex can.

Cut CI Environment Setup Time in Half with Chunk sidecar Snapshots

Waiting minutes for CI feedback while you're building with AI agents kills your momentum. Chunk sidecars snapshots let you freeze your environment after setup, so every boot skips the install and starts from a cached state instead of scratch. In this tutorial, we demo how to set up Chunk sidecars, snapshot it, and boot from that snapshot. We also benchmark the difference: a cold sidecar start took 45 seconds. Booting from the snapshot took 12 seconds. That's 30+ seconds saved on every run, multiplied across every developer, branch, agent, and session.

Rebuilding the CircleCI CLI from scratch

Every developer knows the moment: CI goes red, and you face a choice. Open the browser and click through the web UI to the run, the workflow, the job, the step, the log line. Or stay in the terminal, where the fix is going to happen anyway. The new CircleCI CLI exists so you can stay. It’s 1.0, it’s in beta, and it’s a ground-up rewrite in Go, not an iteration on the CLI we’ve shipped for years.

How to Set Up Claude Code with CircleCI MCP Server (Full Demo)

AI agents write code fast, but without a validation layer, fast just means faster bugs. In this video, we connect Claude Code to the CircleCI MCP server so Claude can trigger pipelines, pull build failures into context, and iterate until everything is green. No context switching. No copy-pasting logs.
