Running your CI pipelines on spot instances offers significant savings for CI/CD. But there are speed and developer experience tradeoffs if they're not managed appropriately.

In this webinar, we’ll cover Rippling's approach to optimizing CI/CD with Buildkite and AWS spot instances. We’ll talk about:

  • How to evaluate cost savings from switching to spot instances.
  • Why spot instances can be a challenge for CI.
  • Strategies for spot-friendly pipelines and handling outages efficiently.
  • Key tactics for ensuring fast, reliable builds, and excellent developer experience.
  • Build pipeline metrics to watch.
