Khurram Baig, Siddardh R A

Are you struggling to operate Tekton Pipelines at scale?

Join us for a deep dive into the intricate art of managing Tekton Pipelines or Kubernetes Custom resource controllers in a large-scale production environment.

This presentation will explore key strategies that helped us deal with customer escalations related to performance regression, bottlenecks, and deploying a scalable Tekton instance:

Understanding the Scale: What happens when your teams run lots of concurrent pipelines?
Identify Bottlenecks with Metrics: Discover which indicators are most valuable for pinpointing degradation in your Tekton instances.
Fix the Problems Head-On: Use actionable strategies for improving efficiency once they've been identified. We will discuss strategies for preventing bottlenecks from reoccurring.
Scale with Confidence: Explore a comprehensive strategy that ensures your Tekton infrastructure remains robust and reliable as your workloads grow.

Your development teams will thank you!
