YESSS!!!! IT'S GREEN!!! FINALLYYYY!!!!!!!!

3 weeks ago I started building this CI pipeline. Finally, I see something GREEN!! YAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!

P.S. A complete build requires 23GB of disk space, lasts 1h40m, and artifacts are too big to be cached, so everything must be shoved into a single CI job.

You've gotta love building monoliths...

    Yeesh. Can you describe the application without getting fired for doing so? I'd love to have an idea of what kind of monster has such insane requirements.

    @cuddlyogre based on ElasticPath. That's all I can say w/o disclosing too much.

    it's not my first EP project though. But my first from a devops perspective

    I salute you and the patience it must require to deal with that madness.

    Splitting those artifacts to a cacheable size sounds like the next step.
    Unless it’s an acceptable trade off it takes 2hrs to build and only one changeset at a time 😅

    I remember having to deal with a huge cpp codebase that took about as long..
    There was always that guy which didn’t make the merge window and complained about it…

    Sorry, could not resist.

    Good job. :)

    @IntrusionCM In the standup with the client's presence I used the word "behemoth". Only today I bothered to look it up. To my genuine surprise, it fits to describe the application even better than I thought it did before I knew its actual meaning.

    @netikras lol.

    I usually call that our terabyte clusters (20 plus primary data).

    Another very nice term that makes people spit their coffee out is when I call certain areas, especially the development servers, whore of babylon....

    But trust me, it truly is an evil place where evil gathers ;)

    @netikras my other favorite word for stuff like this is "teetering Ziggurat".

    Someone used it on Hackernews and since then I use it way to often haha
