CI/CD
Pipelines that are fast enough to trust: build and test times measured, caches that work, deployments that are reversible, and GitOps delivery that keeps git describing what runs.
The pipeline is the slowest part of the day
A twenty-minute build turns review into batching, batching turns into bigger changes, and bigger changes turn into riskier deploys. Meanwhile the deploy itself is a button nobody fully understands, and the answer to "what is in production right now" involves opening three tabs.
What we do
How the work goes
Measure
A week of pipeline telemetry: stage durations, cache hit rates, queue time, failure reasons. Most teams are surprised by which stage is actually the problem.
Cut
The changes with the best ratio of minutes saved to risk introduced, applied in order, each one measured against the same baseline.
Make it reversible
Rollback rehearsed, not assumed. A deploy you have never reversed is a deploy you cannot reverse under pressure.
What you get
- Before/after timings per stage, from the same measurement
- Pipeline definitions in your repository, reviewed by your team
- A rehearsed rollback procedure with the steps written down
A good fit when
- Teams whose build time has crept past the point of patience
- Anyone who deploys by hand because the automation is not trusted
Not us, and we will say so
- Replacing your CI vendor as an end in itself — we will usually make the current one faster instead
