Discussion on: How to set up a dynamic CI/CD pipeline with Github Actions

[Lars Gyrup Brink Nielsen This is Learning]

Hey @timdeschryver , Awesome article!

How come you're not splitting the steps into separate jobs to parallelize the work?

[Tim Deschryver This is Learning]

The steps are relatively small and fast. I haven't tried it, but I think it won't make much of a difference. It would also make the workflow more complex because it has to share outputs between multiple jobs, I think....

[Lars Gyrup Brink Nielsen This is Learning]

I think it mostly depends on the number of tests and the size of the code base.

You would need to share a build artifact between a build and a deploy job. You could set a condition on the deploy job. Alternatively have build and deploy in the same job but set a condition on the deploy step.

That's also how I think about it 😃
For my OSS projects I feel like it would be an overkill
