How can I improve my build times?

How can I improve my build times?

There are several strategies you can use to improve build times, such as optimizing your code, using incremental builds, and leveraging caching.

What do you mean by incremental builds?

Incremental builds only compile the parts of the code that have changed since the last build, rather than the entire project.

Are there any tools that can help with this?

Yes, tools like Gradle, Bazel, and CMake support incremental builds and can significantly reduce build times.

How can caching help in this process?

Caching stores the results of previous builds, so if nothing has changed, it can reuse those results instead of recompiling everything.
