The blog post discusses the integration of FinOps principles within an internal developer portal to provide insights into continuous integration (CI) costs and durations. By utilizing Port as both a FinOps tool and a software catalog, organizations can link CI/CD platforms like GitHub Actions and project management tools such as Jira to track costs associated with CI processes. This setup involves using blueprints to define metadata for various entities, such as jobs, workflows, and branches, allowing developers to visualize the financial and time impacts of their work in a centralized platform. The approach aids in better decision-making and resource allocation by providing a comprehensive view of CI-related expenditures and process durations, ultimately optimizing software development lifecycle management.
