Best practices for CI/CD monitoring

Modern engineering teams rely on continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) providers to automate their pipeline processes. However, managing and maintaining the performance of these systems becomes increasingly challenging as teams grow in size and complexity. To address this issue, organizations can leverage tools like CI Visibility to gain shared context around CI/CD workflows. By implementing best practices such as effectively troubleshooting issues, narrowing the scope of investigations with dashboards, drilling down into pipeline issues by tracing CI runners, and creating monitors that span the entire CI/CD system, teams can maintain the speed and reliability of their pipelines while scaling. Additionally, monitoring CI trends over time helps establish baselines for performance and identify performance regressions proactively.
