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.

1 — High Availability

Covers designing the CI/CD control plane itself for high availability so pipeline outages don't become an organization-wide delivery outage.

2 — Scaling Pipeline Platforms

Covers horizontal and vertical scaling strategies for build farms, runners, and orchestration control planes as pipeline volume grows.

3 — Disaster Recovery

Covers backup, failover, and recovery procedures for CI/CD control planes, artifact stores, and pipeline state.

4 — Platform Capacity Planning

Covers forecasting build and deployment demand and provisioning runner and orchestration capacity ahead of it.
