Parallel jobs and matrix builds Runs independent jobs at the same time and fans one job out across versions, platforms or shards.	Yes	Yes
Dependency caching between pipeline runs Restores dependency folders or Docker layers from a previous run so jobs skip re-downloading.	Yes	Yes
Self-hosted runners Teams can register their own machines or Kubernetes clusters as build agents alongside hosted ones.	Yes	Yes
Hosted macOS, Windows and Linux runners The vendor supplies build machines for all three operating systems, including Arm variants.	No	Yes

Manual approval gates before deploy A pipeline stage can pause until a named person or group approves it in the UI.	Yes	Yes

Masked secrets for pipeline jobs Credentials are stored encrypted, masked in logs and injected only into the jobs that need them.	Yes	Yes

Test reports with flaky test detection Parses test output to show failures per test and flags tests that pass and fail intermittently.	Yes	Yes
Artifact passing between jobs Files produced by one job can be uploaded and consumed by later jobs or downloaded after the run.	Yes	Yes
Pipeline duration and success analytics Dashboards show run times, failure rates and queue waits per pipeline over time.	Yes	Yes
Merge queue Merges are serialised so each change is tested against the latest default branch before it lands.	Yes	No
Free monthly build minutes A no-cost tier includes a monthly allowance of hosted build minutes for small teams.	Yes	Yes
Self-managed CI server edition The whole CI platform can be installed on the team's own infrastructure, not just the runners.	No	No
