cuddlyogre1148121dYeesh. 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.

netikras34950121d@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 -
lotd7928120dSplitting 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. :) -
netikras34950119d@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.

IntrusionCM15047119d@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 ;) -
j0n4s5462118d@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

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...
