Your build times increased significantly. How do you investigate and optimize?
Tests methodical CI/CD bottleneck analysis and build optimization tactics. Strong answers baseline the timeline, isolate the slowest stage with metrics, then apply parallelism, caching, or dependency pruning.
This tests whether you can methodically debug CI/CD performance regressions instead of guessing. A great answer establishes a baseline timeline, breaks the pipeline into discrete stages like checkout, build, test, and deploy, and uses metrics to identify the actual bottleneck before acting. It then names concrete optimizations like parallel job execution, intelligent layer caching, and dependency or artifact pruning. Red flag: immediately suggesting vertical scaling or random tooling changes without data-driven validation.
