GitHub CI usage - May 2026

[Aurelien Pupier via dev <de...@camel.apache.org>]

Hi,

I recently discovered a dashboard provided by Apache Infra which is providing some details on our usage of GitHub Actions. It requires to be committer to access it. It is accessible here https://infra-reports.apache.org/#ghactions
I think there is nothing dramatic or completely surprising and unknown from this report so far. But it is interesting ot keep an eye on it  (maybe monthly) given the global context of GitHub workflows are often queued for several hours because the pool is shared among all Apache projects and is regularly hitting the limit. I plan to send an updated report every month for now and see how it evolves and if it is worthy.

Some interesting points:

  *
For the last 30 days<https://infra-reports.apache.org/#ghactions&hours=720&limit=15&group=name>, so more or less for May, total usage is 515k minutes used (~8593h), estimated credit use 3267$
  *
The most consuming single workflow<https://infra-reports.apache.org/#ghactions&project=camel&hours=720&limit=15&group=name> is `Camel Quarkus CI`
     *
It represents 656h, 7.64% on the global time
     *
but more than half of the reported ones (see last point)
     *
In Camel Quarkus, we have identified some points to improve it but it is not a top priority for now (incremental build/avoid to test native for all the components for all PRs)
  *
The second most consuming single workflow is `Build and test` of Camel core
     *
It represents 296h, 3.45% on the global time
     *
but almost a quarter of the reported ones (see last point)
  *
Note that a lot of the total time is not reported in the graph.
     *
The difference is about 8593h-1291h=7302 hours, so it represents 84% of the time
     *
I do not have explanation so far for the difference. (provisioning? Queue time?) I started a conversation on slack<https://the-asf.slack.com/archives/CF6PY5M4N/p1779192097154399> to understand the difference
