It's like Electric Insight, which was a fantastic if proprietary tool.
There's an enormous amount of analysis you can do with tools like this from estimating how much faster the build would be with more cores (i.e. is it worth adding more) to things like a diff of one build against another: why is one build bad and the other good - what tasks had different parameters or weren't in both builds?
- lalitmaganti 4d agoDiffing is something I definitely want to support. I've filed https://github.com/LalitMaganti/buildprof/issues/12 https://github.com/LalitMaganti/buildprof/issues/12 to add support for this, I have ideas!
- emelski 4d agoHey, I created ElectricInsight! It's nice to hear somebody besides me remembers it fondly.
- t43562 4d agoI know you did! It's quite odd how everything gets re-invented isn't it? N years ago I didn't think that javascript would ever have a "build time" problem but I've already been asked if I can write a "filesystem" for one well known web platform and I wondered if they wanted something like EFS. I obviously said no because I didn't feel like trying to pretend that I write filesystems three times a year.
