[DL.CI.5] Sequence build actions strategically for prompt feedback
Category: RECOMMENDED
By optimizing the sequence of actions or tasks in your continuous integration pipeline, feedback can be timely, allowing developers to quickly react and make necessary changes. This practice reduces the risk of delayed releases due to late detection of issues.
Initiate long-duration actions earlier and run them in parallel with other actions, preventing bottlenecks. Tasks less prone to failure or of lower importance should be scheduled later to prioritize higher impact tasks. Regularly reviewing and adjusting action sequences ensures they effectively identify issues early and provide actionable feedback.
Strategically sequencing build actions is categorized as recommended as the foundational focus should first be on establishing a solid continuous integration pipeline and then later enhancing it by optimizing the build.
