Deep dives

The Importance of Fast Builds

Faster builds are crucial for software development teams to maintain a competitive edge. Traditional Continuous Integration (CI) providers often provide generic setups that do not prioritize performance out of the box, leaving developers to manage optimization themselves. Instead of relying solely on basic configurations, teams should seek tools that facilitate faster and more efficient builds, which can save time and reduce costs. Incorporating solutions that enhance build performance and security from the start can significantly improve overall project success.
