Our repository is so large/active that our CI is painful. You could also say our build/test process is so slow that our CI is painful. I’m looking for tooling to reduce the load on our CI. For example, if only documentation has been changed, there is no need to run the tests. If no documentation is changed there is no need to rebuild the Doxygen website. If only a one component is changed, the unit tests for the others need to be run. If only tests have been changed there is no need to deploy the software. If only build config is changed, there is no need to run the unit tests. I’m not sure what to google for. Is there a name for such mechanisms? Buildpipe seems roughly the right idea but is not really applicable without Buildkite. The configuration for such a tool is so complex that a Python library might make more sense than an executab

I sense that Google invests much more in it's infrastructure then most companies make in revenue. I've worked with monorepos, and I'd be loathe to recommend it as well; the combination of culture shift and tooling it takes to keep a monorepo system running makes most CD processes you see today look like child's play. There is a lot of very good free software that supports most of the open source approach to CD these days; but very, very little freely available monorepo tooling. Just check out https://github.com/korfuri/awesome-monorepo - it's a quick read. I haven't found many other notably superior compilations. Compared with available OSS workflows and tooling, it's rather sparse, filled with bespoke approaches everywhere.

Thanks, but I have reading that they work for smaller orgs as well. e.g. http://www.thedotpost.com/2016/05/fabien-potencier-monolithi... https://speakerdeck.com/fabpot/a-monorepo-vs-manyrepos https://github.com/splitsh/lite https://gist.github.com/morewry/d3419a38d74590493042544d4afa... https://github.com/korfuri/awesome-monorepo I was just hoping to connect some one who has some first hand (recent) experience here. Thanks.
