I have optimized job execution time by running test scripts in parallel and creating multiple pipelines; we've significantly reduced execution times. What could take 50 minutes can be cut down to just 8 to 10 minutes through these optimizations.
GitHub Actions optimizes project efficiency with YAML workflows and smooth GitHub integration, enabling streamlined CI/CD setup and reduced execution times. It supports diverse platforms, enhancing collaboration and task automation. Despite sophisticated integration with some services like OneDrive and artifact management complexity, its scalability and flexibility stand out. Challenges include GitHub token authorization and limited mobile build automation, alongside switching between hosted and self-hosted agents requiring external platform provisioning.
