Scaling CI/CD Pipelines in Microservices Architectures for Large Enterprises: Performance and Reliability Considerations
Keywords:
CI/CD pipelines, microservices architecturesAbstract
Large, constantly shifting microservices enterprises need CI/CD pipeline scalability, dependability, and performance. This work highlights stable deployment and speed optimization to enhance CI/CD operations. The CI/CD synchronization of microservices across teams and services slows down software release. Fragmented systems are naturally appealing.
First compare microservices CI/CD vs monolithic systems. The article then addresses problems with enterprise scale including maintaining high throughput under varying load conditions, controlling inter-service dependencies, and consistent installation. The dynamic nature of microservices could put pressure on CI/CD infrastructure, postpone installations, and raise resource contention.
