# CD pipeline on a canvas with Buildkite

**[Buildkite](https://daily.dev/sources/buildkite)** · 4 min read · 13 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Buildkite has introduced the build canvas, a feature that provides a visual representation of pipeline builds through a directed acyclic graph (DAG). This tool allows users to follow running builds, jump to failed steps, and decode dependencies between steps, making debugging and understanding pipelines more efficient. By highlighting dependencies for selected steps, it simplifies troubleshooting and collaboration across teams. The build canvas aims to reduce engineering knowledge gaps and improve overall pipeline management procedures.
