Speeding up Auto Builds
Problem Statement
- As a developer, I want a review app up and running immediately once I create a new branch
- As an engineering manager, I want all the builds to run fast and fail fast to help with fast feedback
Reach
We here from many Auto DevOps users that Auto DevOps is slow. Auto Builds are slow as well.
What percentage of GitLab users might use Auto DevOps? Everyone is affected as speed matters for everyone. There might be users who would start using Auto DevOps, if we win them some seconds or minutes.
Impact
The impact depends on the size of speed improvements we can reach. If we save 2 minutes in a 20 minute pipeline, that means 10% less CI time. If an engineer runs 10 pipelines a day, then we get 20 minutes back to them that was previously waiting time.
Confidence
We hear about it at all the user calls.
