Windows CI/CD pipeline slashed from 14 mins to under 3 mins

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer team significantly reduced their Windows CI/CD pipeline execution time from 14 minutes to under 3 minutes by re-architecting their workflow. They shifted development push matrices to GitHub Actions, which offer faster VM provisioning and disable real-time antivirus scanning by default, drastically cutting down job setup and execution times. The team also implemented smart caching and selective job runs, reserving the slower GitLab CI/CD for release tags only. AI

IMPACT Streamlines developer workflows, potentially accelerating AI model development cycles.
