CI/CD Pipeline Design
Robust integration and deployment pipelines with GitHub Actions, auto-scaling runners, and multi-cloud deployments.
Problem
Slow pipelines, lack of isolation between jobs, saturated runners at peak hours, and manual deployments risking drift between environments.
Solution
Actions Runner Controller (ARC) with auto-scaling to 0 when idle, distributed dependency caching, GitOps push-on-tag deployments into Argo CD.
Stack
- GitHub Actions with ARC (Actions Runner Controller)
- Self-hosted runners on k3s, scaled 0-N
- Docker BuildKit with layer caching
- Cloudflare Pages + R2 for static frontends
Outcomes
- Cold start of jobs: <30s (was 3+ min)
- Parallelism capacity: 50+ concurrent jobs
- Reproducible deploys: tag → production in <5 min
