XCMetrics - The All-In-One Solution to Track Xcode Build Metrics
summary
XCMetrics is an open source system that extracts .xcactivitylog files, parses them with a Swift parser, and uploads structured build data to a backend; it ships a Swift CLI and Vapor backend plus plugins, can deploy via Google Cloud Run, and moves heavy parsing off developer machines. Production usage reports 1 million builds and 10 billion steps (≈11 TB) collected, surfaces per-file and per-function times, and finds issues like 10s type‑checking hotspots for actionable fixes.
