So You're Trying to Support a Medium Sized Studio....
summary
Explains concrete automation wins: a Jenkins pipeline calls RunUAT to run Build Graph scripts that batch UBT/UE4 tasks, tag build artifacts and commit only needed files; a custom task auto-commits perforce files. Unreal Game Sync pulls zipped editor builds and shows per-changelist build results. Swarm uses a coordinator plus agents to cut lighting bake time. Shared DDC and pre-warming the cache avoids re-compiling ~40,000 shaders; fixing a hard reference saves ~300 MB of RAM on load.
