Do it, please. My company doesn't care and has pipelines running that pull from npm and pypi for every push, merge, etc. - and devs use AI that has been ordered to commit and push as frequently as possible. With around 100 devs, just imagine the traffic.
They were forced to pay for dockerhub because of the pipelines failing. But they must be forced to pay for packages repos too. I sneakily changed our pipeline to pull from the in-house docker registry, and for pipelines to require pulling from package repos only when locks changed. Our CI is faster than every other team, but nobody noticed.
So yeah, charge the companies! Please!
How come this is not an obvious improvement opportunity that materializes in other teams too, and visibly so, rather than "sneakily" hidden?
Isn't it better not only for performance but also for reliability?
It's very top down here. If the group of designated leaders (meaning CTO and his close friends) don't approve of changes to the Way of Working and base repository template, it shall not be applied.
I've pointed out problems before and wanted to improve things but was told to "stay in my lane" basically. That killed all motivation to go through the proper channels. If you aren't in the in-group, well, that's it, you have no say.
Unfortunately, they pay well.
