I worked as DevOps Engineer at multiple companies of different sizes and almost everywhere at some point I had to work with CI/CD optimizations to make developers life better. The key problem I had was tracking down which pipeline was the problematic one and how could I see if my changes worked long-term.

Some time ago I built first version of Pipetrics based on typescript, github action cron job and mongodb used as datasource in Grafana. This approach had a lot of limitations, especially in Grafana integration, thus I decided to rework the project and make it available to everyone as SaaS platform.

Pipetrics in the form that I wanted to share with you today, is a first step in my new story. Today the platform is able to gather new and archival workflows from github and show it in the web app and Grafana dashboard. My plan for the next weeks is to implement advanced cost analysis with AI driven suggestions of optimizations (like using the cache or fixing its key).
