Pipeline Patterns and Antipatterns - Things your Pipeline Should (Not) Do

Daniel Raniz Raneland

Automated pipelines have become an integral part of our daily workflow. As the pipelines become increasingly important, the demands placed on them rise proportionally. As with many things, a great pipeline operates seamlessly in the background, while a poorly designed one becomes a constant irritation. Are you publishing your artefacts every time the pipeline runs, running all steps in a sequence, or installing all the tools every time a new build starts? In this talk, I will address these antipatterns and more I have encountered during my work as a consultant, explaining why I consider them such and what you should do instead. After listening to this talk, you will better understand what makes a pipeline great and concrete things you can do to improve it and shorten the feedback loop.
