Continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) optimizes team development flows by automating build, test, and deployment processes to ensure fast and reliable delivery of high-quality software. Adopting best-in-class CI/CD tooling is one of the best investments your organization can make to shorten delivery cycles, eliminate painful manual processes, and keep infrastructure costs in check.

Platform engineering is an emerging discipline focused on enhancing developer productivity by reducing the complexity and uncertainty of modern software delivery. It addresses some of the biggest challenges of doing DevOps at scale, including aligning development practices with business priorities and reducing the burden of managing a complicated web of tools and infrastructure across the application lifecycle.

There are hundreds of capabilities on CircleCI that were designed to create the best possible CI/CD experience for our users. But one feature that users often point to as the most valuable on the platform is the CircleCI Insights dashboard. The Insights dashboard provides full visibility into metrics like job status, duration monitoring, and solutions for pipeline optimization.
