DevOps Ready
Helix versioning software is renowned for an open ecosystem and massive continuous integration/delivery and scalability:
- Out-of-box plugins for industry standard tools
- Jira integration
- APIs and SDKs for many programming languages
- Field tested for > 80 million CI transactions a day

Cloud vs. On-Premises
Helix Core is available both in the cloud or on-premises. Cloud makes work easy and convenient. But depending on the makeup of your team, your goals, and your development stack, an on-premises deployment might be a better option.
