We currently build two variants of our Docker image: oss and default. Because these tasks both belong to the same Gradle subproject
:distribution:docker
they cannot be run concurrently by default. Rather than introducing more subprojects just for the purposes of parallel build execution, this PR adds aDockerBuildTask
which leverages the Gradle Worker API which allows intra-project task parallelism.This should considerably help out builds that spend the majority of their time on building these images. In the example below you can see the task execution timeline is very sparse toward the end of the build due mainly to the fact that Docker image construction is done serially.
