One Million Builds per Year, Only One Page - Operating Internal Services...
summary
Octopus Deploy’s small internal tools team runs the CI/CD platform that delivers 1.5 million builds per year while recording one out-of-hours page in a year by using managed cloud services, HA replicas, automated upgrade pipelines that propose and sometimes apply Terraform provider and dependency updates, and a policy of one daytime on-call engineer plus pages only when the tools are needed for incidents. The approach works but creates onboarding gaps because systems fail so rarely and raises time‑zone support limits after a reduction to three engineers.
