[FEATURE] Split regression so it runs jobs in parallel #412

Closed jsoref closed 7 months ago

jsoref commented 8 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The regression workflow takes 90mins to run to completion: https://github.com/PowerDNS/weakforced/actions/runs/7342202732 that's too long.

Describe the solution you'd like There should be units of work that can be done in parallel jobs within the workflow.

Whether that's compiling 3 objects in 3 jobs at the beginning and then passing them around via a cache / artifact, or whether that's just running 3 parallel jobs to handle 3 sections of work, ... there has to be something that doesn't depend on previous steps

Describe alternatives you've considered I could wait the time it takes for the workflows to run.

Indeed, the regression runs twice, once for clang and once for g++ so that's a prime candidate for running in parallel.
