Zuul at Volvo Cars
summary
Volvo Cars runs ZUUL CI across about 111 developers and claims a continuous green master since April 2018 by using Zuul v3 features like speculative merge and cross-repo dependencies. They build safety‑critical and autonomous‑drive components (one‑pedal drive, decision and actuation management, diagnostics), handle heavy repos up to 5 GB, and use build avoidance, prioritized queues, Artifactory and static plus AWS cloud nodes. Scheduler is a single point of failure, Kubernetes executors are planned, and many pipelines run MATLAB/Simulink codegen and Rust on real targets.
