Pipeline Analytics

See where time goes in your CI/CD

Visual dashboards and statistical analysis that reveal exactly which jobs are slow, which stages are bottlenecked, and where your optimization efforts should focus.

The Problem

CI/CD is a black box

You know your pipeline is slow, but you don't know why. GitLab gives you logs, not insights.

?
"Which job is the slowest?"
Manually scrolling through pipeline views, trying to find the bottleneck. No aggregated data across runs.
?
"Why is today's pipeline slower?"
No historical comparison. No percentile tracking. Just individual pipeline times that tell you nothing about trends.
?
"Are tests flaky or just slow?"
Sometimes jobs run fast, sometimes slow. Without variance data, you're flying blind on optimization efforts.
?
"Where should I optimize?"
Without actionable insights, optimization becomes guesswork. You might speed up the wrong job entirely.

Visualizations

See your pipelines like never before

Powerful visualizations that turn raw pipeline data into actionable insights.

Ladder Diagram

Compare job durations across pipeline runs with percentile-based analysis. See p50, p75, p90, and p95 values at a glance.

Box Plots

Visualize the full distribution of job execution times with interactive timeline views showing median, quartiles, and outliers.

Understanding execution time variability

Stage Timeline

See how jobs flow through pipeline stages with real-time duration tracking and dependency visualization.

Optimizing parallelization and stage ordering

45s - 92s
unit-tests Slow
120s - 340s

28s - 48s

180s - 380s

40s - 65s

Automated Insights

Pipie tells you what to optimize

Automated analysis detects performance issues before they become problems.

🐌

Slow Job Detection

Automatically identifies jobs with high variability - when the worst-case (p95) is significantly slower than typical (p75).

Severity levels:

Critical (100%+ slower) High (75-100%) Medium (50-75%)
⚖️

Bottleneck Analysis

Detects when a single job dominates its stage's total duration, blocking parallelization opportunities.

Flagged when one job takes >70% of stage time

🔄

Inconsistent Jobs

Highlights jobs that don't run consistently across pipelines - often conditional or manually-triggered jobs.

Understanding pipeline variations

Why Percentiles?

Averages lie. Percentiles reveal truth.

A job that usually takes 60s but occasionally takes 300s might average 80s - hiding the inconsistency that causes pipeline delays.

p50
The median - 50% of runs are faster, 50% are slower. Your typical case.
p75
75% of runs complete faster. Represents above-average duration.
p90
Only 10% of runs take longer. Good for capacity planning.
p95
Your worst-case scenario. What you should plan for.

The Hidden Problem
