How to Reduce Wasted Builds in CI CD Pipelines
CI CD pipelines can generate unnecessary emissions when they run too often, build too much, or repeat work that does not change the final artifact. This article explains where that waste comes from and how teams can reduce it with practical changes to triggers, caching, test selection, and workflow design.
