Cooking the Cake for NuGet Packages
summary
A company standardized .NET repository builds using Cake + a small BAT wrapper so each repo exposes build/test/pack commands, with shared build logic and DLL addins kept in a master Cake repo and pulled into ~400+ repos to avoid copying scripts. Continuous integration is simplified to three Jenkins jobs (build, test, package), publishes packages to Artifactory, runs Sonar and unit tests, and streams results to Elastic/Kibana with alerts, yielding reproducible local builds, reduced Jenkins churn, and measurable operational gains.
