## What it is
flow.ci is an open-source, self-hosted CI/CD automation server written in Java. It offers high availability, parallel job execution, dynamic agent auto-scaling on Kubernetes or Linux hosts, and zero-configuration setup with build templates.

## Use cases
- self-host a ci/cd server
- run build pipelines with parallel steps
- auto-scale build agents on kubernetes
- set up continuous integration with minimal configuration
- debug running jobs via an online terminal
- cache dependencies to speed up builds

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted CI/CD alternative to Jenkins with simpler setup
- you need high availability and horizontally scalable build agents
- you want to run steps in arbitrary docker images or native OS
- you prefer plugin development in any language

## When to avoid
- you need deep ecosystem integration like GitHub Actions marketplace
- your team relies on a managed SaaS CI service
- you need a very large plugin ecosystem out of the box
