Configuration review service
The configuration review service evaluates a single CircleCI project and delivers a findings report. Your field engineer meets with the team that manages the project to learn about the use case and goals. After a two-week analysis, depending on the size of the project, your field engineer delivers findings. If additional help is needed to implement requirements, additional consultative time is scheduled.
Findings typically include:
-
Optimization recommendations tied to your goals, such as cost savings or performance.
-
Feature options for your use case.
-
Right-fitting execution environments.
-
DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself) recommendations.
-
Solutions specific to your project’s use case.
-
How your field engineer uses CircleCI data to analyze the project.
Benefits
Teams who engage in a configuration review benefit from:
-
A more optimized CI/CD pipeline that improves spend and engineering efficiency for the reviewed project.
-
Best practices tailored to the project’s use case.
-
More self-service to apply improvements across current and future projects.
-
Proactive identification of knowledge gaps, training needs, or service requirements.
-
Faster user onboarding in the reviewed project.
-
A clearer understanding of CircleCI data and how to use it.
Intended audience
Configuration reviews are most useful for projects that:
-
Started using CircleCI in the last six months.
-
Have made a recent major change to their configuration.
-
Have a heavy throughput.
-
Contain complex pipelines.
-
Are used as a template for other projects.
-
Are showing negative metric trends.
Anyone responsible for writing or maintaining the CircleCI configuration for the reviewed project should be involved.
Developers who work on the project can gain a clearer understanding of what CircleCI does under the hood.
