By changing pip with uv in our production images, our construct pipeline (and for that reason launching a brand-new variation) is a lot much faster. Uv is an incredibly quick Python bundle installer and resolver composed in Rust. It is established by Astral and it’s open source. Examine it out on GitHub.
In the following table, you can see that we can conserve around 5 hours of execution time on each construct.

Usually, we run the develop pipeline 43 times as we produce
- 31 nightlies (one nighttime daily)
- 7 beta releases
- 5 steady releases (consisting of spot ones)
In overall, we conserve around 215 hours monthly. With this enormous enhancement, we can now deliver hotfixes even much faster, as the pipeline to deliver a brand-new variation now takes around 20 minutes rather of 2.5 hours.
The 215 month-to-month conserved execution hours can be utilized by other tasks and make the CI experience for all designers and our neighborhood much better. By changing pip with uv, we enhance our sustainability by utilizing less resources to develop our images.
A huge thank you to Astral for establishing this incredible tool. Please take a look at their site and items as they provide, for instance, a “lightning” quickly linter/formatter for Python too.
