Real-Time CPU and Memory Insights for Harness CI Cloud Build

Harness CI Cloud's CPU and Memory Insights feature addresses the challenges of resource visibility in cloud-based CI pipelines by providing real-time and historical data on CPU, memory, and disk I/O usage without impacting build performance. This tool helps teams optimize resource allocation by identifying whether builds are CPU, memory, or I/O-bound, allowing for right-sizing of virtual machines to reduce costs. It also aids in debugging by pinpointing resource spikes related to specific build steps and detecting regressions due to dependency updates. The system uses a lite-engine component within the ephemeral VM to collect and stream resource metrics, which are visualized through interactive charts in the UI, offering full coverage regardless of build step outcomes. The feature is compatible across various platforms, including Linux, macOS, and Windows, and operates with minimal overhead, ensuring reliability and efficiency for continuous integration processes.
