Do we know why Geode has such a large CI resource requirement? I would guess that it was partially due to trying to run as many tests in parallel as possible to shorten the feedback cycle. The recent CI pipelines were also built on Pivotal's Concourse which seems to promote a greater number of smaller CI jobs (or at least that's my impression).
This code base did successfully use a Jenkins CI prior to 2014 even though it took more hours to complete than the more recent Concourse CI. I think Mark Bretl was involved in that Jenkins CI so he might remember some details or tips or even possible challenges to watch out for. -Kirk On Sat, Nov 12, 2022 at 4:42 AM Mario Salazar de Torres <mario.salazar.de.tor...@est.tech> wrote: > Hi, > About GitHub actions, there are currently some limitations you I pointed > out previously in the devlist. > Even tho, I was stuck in the process of migrating geode-native CI to GH > actions, mostly since I didn't have the necessary permissions. > If you want to have further info about GH actions, you can check Apache > BUILDS list. > > And as for Geode repository, considering the number of resources its CI > requires, I'd say GH actions is a no go... > Also, I think it was Dan Smith, the one that pointed out that Apache has a > Jenkins instance available, so every Apache project can use its resources. > My guess is that Apache Jenkins infra would be a better fit for Geode > repository.
