CI/CD Optimize

Diagnose slow CI/CD from evidence, optimize the critical path, close the feedback loop on the exact commit, and prove the pipeline remains effective. Never make a pipeline faster by deleting the checks that make it useful.

When to use — and when not to

Use for: slow median or p95 feedback; long runner queues; repeated setup or dependency restore; cache misses and expensive cache transfers; excessive test time or flakiness; duplicate/stale/irrelevant runs; runner sizing and pool contention; CI cost; watching a pushed commit to a terminal verdict; deployment pipeline convergence and artifact identity.

Not for:
