How do you capacity plan for Build automation?

Capacity planning for build automation is a critical process to ensure that your development and deployment pipelines run smoothly, efficiently, and without bottlenecks. This involves assessing the resource requirements for building, testing, and deploying applications and ensuring that the infrastructure can accommodate those needs.

    // Example of capacity planning for build automation
    function assessBuildCapacity($currentBuildTime, $targetBuildTime, $buildsPerDay) {
        $workloadPerDay = $currentBuildTime * $buildsPerDay;
        $totalCapacityNeeded = $targetBuildTime * $buildsPerDay;

        if ($workloadPerDay > $totalCapacityNeeded) {
            echo "Scaling required: Increase resources to meet the target build time.";
        } else {
            echo "Current capacity is sufficient for the expected workload.";
        }
    }

    $currentBuildTime = 30; // in minutes
    $targetBuildTime = 25;  // in minutes
    $buildsPerDay = 40;

    assessBuildCapacity($currentBuildTime, $targetBuildTime, $buildsPerDay);
