Development efficiency with expert CI/CD strategies
summary
Bit Rice MCP server plus VS Code Copilot is used to query build logs and suggestions; enabling org.gradle.parallel=true plus choosing a 16 vCPU 64GB VM shaves ~2 minutes from unit compile, while a 48‑vCPU machine shows diminishing returns. A remote build cache cuts build time by ~35% (measured hit rates and diagnostic invocation details), dependency/config caches are hit‑or‑miss. Integration test sharding saves about 6 minutes; distributed autoscaling workers add ~2 minutes for unit tests—combined optimizations exceed the 20‑minute target. AI steps (code reviewer, issue identifier) run inside VMs and post PR feedback.
