Civo and Dagger showcased how Civo's managed cloud services and Dagger's CI/CD framework combine to create a highly scalable, cache-optimized development workflow. This approach has been used internally by Civo for over a year. It involves spinning up Dagger engines within Kubernetes clusters to handle pipelines more efficiently, scaling nodes up or down based on workload. Faster caching with S3-compatible object storage is also used to ensure that ephemeral engines can quickly access previous runs' cache data, cutting build times significantly. Additionally, using local NVMe drives and optimized network transport within Civo's cloud provides lightning-fast cache read/write speeds without hidden fees. The demo featured a ready-to-use Terraform configuration that provisions the Kubernetes cluster, object storage, and Dagger engine, allowing users to adapt it to their workflows in minutes. This approach matters for CI/CD pipelines as it enables ephemeral runners to access cached data across nodes, allows for highly optimized workflows tailored to monorepos or microservices pipelines, and saves costs during off-peak hours without sacrificing build performance when demand spikes. The Dagger team is hosting an interactive workshop at Civo Navigate in San Francisco this February, offering a 25% discount to attendees who use the code DAGGERCIVONAV25P at checkout.
