Jenkins is the backbone of many CI/CD pipelines, automating builds, tests, and deployments at scale. However, when handling high-traffic workloads, such as during peak development hours, large-scale deployments, or parallel builds and pipelines, Jenkins can quickly become a resource hog, leading to slow builds, queue backlogs, and even system crashes. Optimizing resource usage is essential to ensure smooth, efficient, and scalable performance.

For platform teams, success means empowering developers with efficient, reliable tools and workflows that accelerate software delivery. As organizations scale, platform engineering teams must balance developer autonomy with standardization while providing infrastructure that supports rapid, reliable software delivery. In today’s complex development environments, platform teams are crucial for maintaining productivity at scale.

CI/CD for generative AI applications presents unique challenges in model deployment, testing, and monitoring. Unlike traditional software applications, generative AI systems involve large model artifacts, complex dependencies, and specialized hardware requirements, making a sophisticated CI/CD pipeline essential for reliable delivery. As organizations embrace generative AI technologies, the need for specialized CI/CD solutions becomes critical.
