Understanding Build Time in DeployBot

DeployBot is designed to streamline your deployment process, making it both efficient and reliable. An important aspect to consider during deployment is the time it takes to build your application. By default, DeployBot allows up to 30 minutes for a build to complete. This is sufficient for most use cases and ensures that resources are allocated efficiently for all users.

When Would You Need More Than 30 Minutes?

Some projects, particularly large or complex ones, may require more time for a successful build. This could be due to several factors, including but not limited to:

  • Large repositories with extensive histories or files.
  • Complex build processes that involve compiling code, running tests, or generating assets.
  • High dependency resolution times for package managers.

Requesting Extended Build Time

If you find that your deployments consistently take longer than 30 minutes, don’t worry! We understand that every project is unique. You have the option to request an extension on the build time limit.
