Overcoming observability challenges in the CI/CD Pipeline
When most companies monitor and analyze their software systems, they focus on the most obvious ones. But one essential service often slips through the cracks: the continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline. This poses three main observability challenges: pipeline investigation efficiency, pipeline performance, and the ability to access historical data.
Every time developers push out a new version, their pipeline run is triggered. A set of commands checks to make sure everything is valid, that the build process is all right, and that all tests have been passed. If everything checks out, the new service version is deployed to production.
