Introducing TeamCity Cloud Public Beta

Today we launch the public beta of TeamCity Cloud, a product that we’ve been busy working on in recent months. TeamCity Cloud is a managed CI/CD service designed for teams that don’t want to deal with running and scaling their own build servers, but at the same time have demanding requirements for availability and security of their DevOps pipelines. This release was made possible not only by the hard work of several teams inside JetBrains, but also by private beta users who helped us eradicate bugs and provided invaluable feedback. We are tremendously grateful for their participation and su
