TIPS
Curated from
Red Hat on Jenkins : By the numbers
- Use a Super awesome build server
- A job per commit/push - who broke the build?
- Slaves for various configs, but then ... Beaker
.....
- Create multiple jobs instead of a uber job
- Split your code repository if it's too big
- Create jobs at the level of components and modules
- Limit console output - reduces stuck jobs
- Limit disk writes (logging/tracing) for faster jobs
- Monitor for memory leaks. Verify plugin quality.
