CI/CD Platform Engineering

A book-shaped table of contents for CI/CD platform engineering: pipeline foundations, build/artifact/delivery platforms, GitHub Actions end to end (workflow mechanics through enterprise governance), Argo Workflows, Tekton, Jenkins, release engineering, platform security, observability, reliability, enterprise governance, and MAANG interview preparation — cross-linking existing tech/kubernetes/platform-engineering-fundamentals/system-design notes instead of duplicating them.

7 — GitHub Actions: Failure Analysis

Covers retry strategies, timeout tuning, debug logging, and treating a broken pipeline as an incident to respond to.

1 — Pipeline Metrics

Covers build duration, queue time, success rate, and failure rate as the core pipeline metrics a platform should expose by default.

2 — CI/CD Logging

Covers structured, centralized logging for pipeline runs — build logs, deployment logs, and audit logs — as a platform-provided capability.

3 — Pipeline Tracing

Covers distributed tracing across pipeline stages and services to diagnose where time and failures actually accumulate in a delivery flow.
