Continuous Integration; Tips & Tricks
summary
Concrete CI rules and actions: prefer Jenkins EC2 or Kubernetes plugin and use spot instances with one executor per worker on big jobs; enable performance optimized mode and use shallow clones with tags disabled to cut minutes off triggers. Clean workspaces at the start, lint in prebuilt Docker images, build dependent service images during Docker build and push the image immediately. Parallelize or segment slow test suites (one-hour suite → five segments ≈20 minutes), isolate docker-compose with -p, keep workspaces for debugging, use VNC for Selenium, store secrets in Jenkins credentials and use Docker BuildKit/ssh for safe builds, and extract shell steps into runnable scripts so pipelines run locally.
