continuous integration build times


Kelly Sutton takes us on a fantastic journey of how to think about and details of how to optimize your continuous integration (CI) build times. Interestingly and counter-intuitively they concentrated on 99th percentile build times instead of 75th or, shudder, 50th percentile time.  Why?  Because a very-slow build constipates the pipeline, disrupting everyone.  Lots of other insights in the post; it is worth your time to skim the whole thing.
