For the past week, travis jobs submitted from Github for our eclipse/scanning project have been incredibly slow to get a slot.
It used to be the case that they would start within a few minutes before early afternoon in the UK, but take up to an hour late in the afternoon, but recently it has been frustratingly long as early as 9am, including waits of 8 to 10 hours for a 13 minute job to be initiated. After they tweeted that their Linux Open Source backlog was cleared, I contacted travis support and was told: I'm seeing that the queue in which your jobs were waiting were most likely waiting behind other jobs in the "eclipse" github organization. If this wait time is a recent development for you, it may be because of another project or projects in the "eclipse" organization triggering an unusually high number of jobs. We typically advise folks who manage large organizations to take advantage of the per-repository concurrent build limits https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/customizing-the-build/#Limiting-Concurrent-Builds. I hope that this helps! Is there any guidance on the number of concurrent builds we should be trying to stick to? Is there any monitoring of whether were are exceeding these limits and taking more than our fair share of the available job slots? Is there anything that we can do to get our builds to run more promptly, other than pull this testing in-house? Since the delays started growing, I've switched from "only do eclipse work in the morning and iterate quickly on one thing at once" to "start multiple parallel things at once, queue them all up and check on their progress the next day", sadly if everyone did this it would just make matters worse. Your thoughts and advice would be appreciated.
