Predicting Build Cache time savings with Quick Connect

Quick Connect is a new feature designed to optimize the use of Build Cache by identifying which workflows within continuous integration (CI) processes will benefit most significantly from caching, thereby reducing feedback loops. By analyzing the last 30 days of build data, Quick Connect offers tailored predictions of time savings, allowing users to connect high-impact workflows and skip those that won't yield significant improvements. These predictions are based on actual workflow compositions and compared against similar projects, ensuring relevance to specific user scenarios. The feature considers the diverse nature of workflows, such as those heavy on compilation versus those focused on testing, to provide accurate recommendations. The process involves establishing a baseline without caching, grouping commands into buckets like Gradle and Xcode, and classifying workflows before enabling Build Cache. Users are given a ranked list of their workflows by projected time savings, enabling informed decision-making to enhance efficiency and reduce build times. This approach leverages real usage data to offer a more precise starting point for optimization compared to traditional benchmarks.
