Optimizing Build Times

[SlaviDimitrov]

Our builds are taking too long, especially in the CI pipeline. Let’s discuss ways to improve build times without compromising functionality.

Hey Gabriel,

I’ve noticed our CI builds often exceed 20 minutes. Maybe we could try caching dependencies or splitting the workflow into smaller jobs?

[gabriellazarov]

Good idea, Slavi! Caching dependencies should save us some time. Splitting workflows sounds interesting, but we’ll need to make sure jobs don’t overlap unnecessarily. I can set up a test workflow to experiment with caching.

Thanks! While you’re at it, let’s also analyze which steps consume the most time. For instance, dependency installation seems to take ages.

I ran some tests, and dependency installation accounts for nearly 40% of the build time. I’ll add caching for node_modules and see if that helps. Let’s review results tomorrow.
