Make Your Continuous Deployment Pipeline as Fast as Possible

Continuous integration (CI) and continuous deployment (CD) have been key to increasing the pace at which development teams can deliver value to the business while keeping quality high. However, many teams are finding that their build pipelines are hard to manage, with builds taking so long that they often halt the development process. Abraham Marin-Perez explores the negative effects of long builds and discusses the most common solutions that organizations apply—many of which involve unfortunate compromises that reduce the benefits of CI/CD. In order to fix this problem without compromises, Abraham shares a technique to rebuild only the parts of the system affected by a change and metrics that you can use to assess the overall health of the build pipeline. Learn how to equip your team with the necessary tools to identify when builds are too long—and what to do about it.
