Build Doctor, subbuilds, and free stuff!

The Build Doctor has a guest post by me talking about subbuilds. Check it out: SparkBuild – build optimisation. I've wanted to do something with his site for a long time now, so I'm really excited about the chance to post there.

About Electric Cloud

SparkBuild is developed by Electric Cloud, Inc, and is based on technology produced for the ElectricAccelerator distributed build system and the ElectricInsight build analysis tool.

You can read more about how we solve problems in build and release management, and lots of details about make, makefiles, and build performance at the Electric Cloud blog.
