Continuous Integration and Deployment: Five Lessons Learned
summary
Survey of popular repos and enterprise telemetry shows five practical habits: run automation as early as possible using Checks API and the pull request workflow; parallelize builds (example: VS Code across Windows/Linux/Mac, libgit2 across flavors) and buy extra compute to cut multi-hour runs to minutes; keep a fast L0 unit-test layer (~4–5 minutes) before PRs and reserve 20–25 minute functional suites for later; use GitHub Actions to publish to GitHub Package Registry and surface passing build badges.
