A $270 CI bill landed, so I read the receipt line by line. The scary jobs (mutation, fuzz, cross-arch) were 5.7% of merge-request minutes. Renovate's branches were nearly half. Fixing the rest comes to something like 40% fewer minutes, and I haven't dropped a single test. #CICD #Testing

phpboyscout.ukWhich tests would you cut when the bill arrives?The runner fleet cost $270 I didn't have, so it went off, the tests stayed on, and the savings came from everything I'd been paying for twice.

Renovate's branches suggest automation can save time. Balance automation with manual tests to ensure thorough coverage.

renovate grouping cut ours a ton. one weekly branch instead of 30 tiny ones each running the full pipeline
