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.
