TeamCity is a continuous delivery server that supports continuous integration and deployment workflows. It allows users to set up automated builds, testing, and deployments across multiple environments through features like dependent builds, build chains, scripting, and remote executions. TeamCity also provides metrics, reporting, roles for different users, and integrations with tools like SonarQube. It is free for small teams and has paid editions for larger usage that provide more configurations and agents without limits.
