CI: High Availability and Horizontal Scalability

Simply put - reduce or eliminate downtime so you can keep working and not have to worry about services going down. How you ask? With Active-active high availability for CloudBees CI. Enjoy the following with High Availability Mode:

  • Remove the single point of failure

  • Keep things running even during infrastructure maintenance like upgrading Kubernetes nodes

  • Distribute workload among replicas to keep your controller happy and performant

  • Getting to go home at a normal time and not have to wait for services to be restored or come back online just to build your code.

This will drop with the September CloudBees CI release on September 20th. Docs and Videos will follow.

High Availability Mode

CI: CloudBees Pipeline Explorer

CI: Workspace Caching

We all know the joys of waiting while downloading all those artifacts for each new build,  right?   All that extra time waiting as we check slack, emails, get a third cup of coffee/energy drink, and check out the latest cat memes. 

Instead of waiting, let's get building. With workspace caching -you get  faster builds and feedback by reusing cached artifacts from previous builds. Saves minutes to hours of just downloading/prepping of the workspace.  Build smarter, not longer. (You can still grab some more coffee)

CI: Build Storm Prevention

Build storms - if you don’t know what they are - FANTASTIC! Those of us who do, we know the controller gridlock they bring. 

CloudBees CI provides a build strategy that will prevent build storms by taking stock of the current state of discovered branches and pull releases without building them and establishing a repository baseline without building them. In other words - prevent the dreaded Build Storm!
