403 — CI/CD Monitoring and Observability

Advanced

Monitor CI/CD pipelines, track deployment metrics, implement alerting, and build dashboards for complete visibility into your DevOps workflows.

Learning Objectives

1
Monitor CI/CD pipeline performance and health
2
Track deployment frequency and success rates
3
Implement alerting for pipeline failures
4
Build metrics dashboards for visibility
5
Measure DORA metrics for DevOps performance
Step 1

Understand CI/CD observability

Learn what to monitor in CI/CD pipelines.

Commands to Run

echo '# Key CI/CD Metrics:'
echo '1. Build duration - How long builds take'
echo '2. Build success rate - % of successful builds'
echo '3. Deployment frequency - How often deploys happen'
echo '4. Lead time - Commit to production time'
echo '5. MTTR - Mean time to recovery'
echo '6. Change failure rate - % of failed deployments'

What This Does

CI/CD observability tracks pipeline health and performance. DORA metrics (deployment frequency, lead time, MTTR, change failure rate) measure DevOps maturity.

Expected Outcome

Understanding of key CI/CD metrics and why they matter for DevOps performance.

Pro Tips

  • 1
    DORA metrics = DevOps Research and Assessment
  • 2
    Elite performers deploy multiple times per day
  • 3
    Track trends, not just point-in-time values
  • 4
    Correlate CI/CD metrics with business outcomes
  • 5
    Automate metric collection

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • ⚠️Not tracking DORA metrics (can't improve what you don't measure)
  • ⚠️Focusing on individual incidents instead of trends
  • ⚠️Ignoring lead time (from commit to production)
