CI/CD Optimization for Cost Efficiency

The document outlines an initiative to optimize product delivery and operational costs through a modern CI/CD architecture, specifically by transitioning from GitHub Actions and AWS CodePipeline to a high-performance, self-hosted infrastructure using Jenkins. It highlights current operational bottlenecks, such as infrastructure initialization delays and redundant processing, which lead to significant time losses and financial unpredictability. The proposed migration strategy aims to enhance performance, empower the engineering team, and transform the cost model from variable to fixed, promoting frequent testing without financial penalties.

Optimization Initiative
Accelerating Product Delivery & Optimizing Operational Costs through
Modern CI/CD Architecture

Presented by Tri Tran


Current Operational Bottlenecks
The current GitHub Actions & AWS CodePipeline setup is
inefficient for our scaling needs.

Infrastructure Initialization Delays: Every build starts


from scratch, wasting 35 minutes just "warming up"
the system.
Redundant Processing: We rebuild the entire
application every time, even unchanged parts, due to
lack of caching.
Production Queues: Long execution times create a
"traffic jam," blocking subsequent critical hotfixes.

Impact:
20 minutes per Core Service build
10 minutes per Landing Page build

The Jenkins Migration Strategy
Transitioning to High-Performance, Self-Hosted Infrastructure
Performance Benefits

No Cold Start: Server is pre-initialized → instant


pipeline start.

Fast Checkout: Local repo caching

Build Optimization:

Docker Layer Cache → huge reduction in


build time.

Library Cache (node_modules, vendor,


gradle, maven) → minimal rebuilds.

Key Feature: Instant Feedback Loops


Empowering the Engineering Team
Fast processes keep the team motivated. No more waiting
means developers can stay in the zone and keep working
smoothly

Focus: Dev team spend time solving business


problems, not fighting infrastructure.

Safety: Faster builds encourage smaller, safer code


releases.

Control: Direct access to build logs and environments


empowers the team to self-serve.

Notifications: Integrate with Slack


Cost Model Transformation

Legacy: Variable Cost New: Fixed Cost

Pay-As-You-Go Flat Infrastructure Fee

Costs scale linearly with activity. The more We pay for the server capacity, regardless of
successful we are (more builds), the more we how many builds we run. This encourages
pay. High unpredictability during crunch times. frequent testing without financial penalty.
