### AI overview

A second revision of Linux kernel patches could make full allmodconfig builds about 36% faster and incremental builds about 70% faster. The work, led by Lorenzo Stoakes of Arm, addresses single-threaded bottlenecks and includes fixes, an upstream rebase, and an optional parallel Rust compiler front end. The patches are being considered for inclusion in Linux 7.4.

### Source excerpt

Earlier this month I wrote about a patch series posted to the Linux kernel mailing list that addressed a lot of "hideous code" to make Linux kernel builds faster. A number of single-threaded bottlenecks were tracked down and fixed within the Linux kernel thanks to the assistance of AI. A second revision of those patches hit the mailing list this morning and there is hope they could be upstreamed for Linux 7.4...

### AI overview

A proposal for a Dynamic Derivations working group in the Nix ecosystem outlines collaboration goals, user-experience refinement, infrastructure needs, and adoption efforts. The post also summarizes the feature's development history and discusses potential benefits such as faster rebuilds and fine-grained incremental builds.

### Source excerpt

After the long-history (see below) of Dynamic Derivations we are at a point where there are many groups exploring the feature and I am proposing a working group to: share the experiences of the implementors refine the user experience based on usage of the various PoCs determine infrastructure needs deduplicate work raise awareness build momentum for adoption ... anything else relevant I believe this feature has the potential to be a game-changer. Faster rebuilds, easier development, reduced pressure on CI systems, cacheable and alternative forms of instantiation, less need for "lang2nix", close the gap with Bazel, and fine-grained incremental builds. Along with the existing work on better schedulers, RBE-style remote builders, bytecode evaluation, parallel eval, memory optimizations (thanks @xokdvium !), and so much more - this is an exciting time for Nix and I can see DynDrvs as a way to fix some of the outstanding UX issues Nix has in day-to-day usage. There is even work to make IFD more performant, there is lots of design space to explore here. This should be a part of what Nix has to offer the world. @Ericson2314 has devoted years to this, and it deserves the payoff of becoming a mature feature. This is a call to action. Let's consider collaboration and a semimonthly meeting to at least say hello + consider next steps: Dynamic Derivations Working Group - Crab Fit History Dynamic Derivations have been in-progress for a long time.

### AI overview

This article explains how Gradle is working to accelerate inner developer loops. It describes the shift from execution time to configuration time as the main build bottleneck in large codebases, while highlighting configuration cache, incremental builds, build cache, and parallelism as approaches to reduce waiting and preserve developer flow.

### Source excerpt

How many engineers in your organization have to sit idle for 10 or more minutes just to rebuild the app locally after a small change? If you're an engineering leader, build engineer, or part of a developer productivity team, you're not alone in facing this challenge. Building complex software is inherently demanding, but the time your developers spend waiting has a profound impact beyond just the literal minutes lost. It fundamentally disrupts their psychological flow. "There are like these time scales of psychological flow, right? So if something takes longer than a minute, you already start planning for it... you suffer from context switch as well. If it's 1 second, that's where we want to be right in that seamless state of flow. And if it's less than one second, then you feel it's like magic... productive developers are happy developers." -- Rodrigo Oliveira When developers have to wait, their attention drifts, and the cost of context switching destroys their momentum. Our goal as enablers of developer productivity should be to eliminate this friction, bringing that feedback loop as close as possible to the "magical one second". In a recent presentation at KotlinConf 2025, Gradle engineers Rodrigo Oliveira and Alex Semin detailed how Gradle Build Tool is evolving to keep developers in that productive, happy "flow state". By tackling the most significant bottlenecks in modern software builds, Gradle is paving the way for incredibly fast inner developer loops. If you prefer to watch the presentation recording, you can find it here. The shifting bottleneck: From execution to configuration On every invocation, Gradle goes through three distinct phases: initialization, configuration, and execution. Historically, when we optimized Gradle builds, we focused almost exclusively on the execution phase. This is when the majority of work expected by a developer happens: production sources compilation, test execution, etc. For years, execution was the longest phase. We tackled thi

A Yelp engineering blog post explains how the team migrated monorepo builds from Webpack to Rspack. It reports an approximately 50% reduction in build time and discusses compatibility, configuration, custom plugins, and a staged rollout.

### Source excerpt

Over the years, Webpack has remained the bundler of choice for many JS projects, including here at Yelp. While it has served us well, its speed has increasingly become a bottleneck as our monorepo continues to grow. Fortunately, a bunch of new build tools (Vite, Parcel, Rspack, etc.) have emerged in recent years. Each of these tools promises different ways of improving performance and developer experience. In this blog post, we'll walk through how we migrated our monorepo builds from Webpack to Rspack and achieved an approximately 50% reduction in build time.

### AI overview

KIKO Milano moved its ecommerce application from manually scaled AWS infrastructure to Vercel. The migration eliminated three weeks of Black Friday infrastructure preparation, reduced application build times by 75%, and enabled the team to deploy multiple times per day. Automatic scaling and on-demand environments allowed the team to focus on campaigns, testing, and the ecommerce experience instead of infrastructure limits.

### Source excerpt

KIKO Milano on Vercel: Eliminated 3 weeks of Black Friday infrastructure prep 75% decrease in app build times Went from minimal releases to deploying multiple times per day KIKO Milano's ecommerce team used to treat peak traffic as an operations project. Weeks before Black Friday, they had to manually scale AWS infrastructure and adjust application configuration, knowing that if demand exceeded forecasts, their site could slow down or even break, costing them real revenue. After migrating to Vercel, they removed manual prep from their playbook. Instead of provisioning infrastructure, their team now ships campaigns and tests daily. The Black Friday problem: manual scaling and stressful failure modes Before Vercel, KIKO ran their ecommerce app on AWS EC2 instances sized for normal traffic, then scaled by hand ahead of peak periods. This was their previous process leading into Black Friday: Manual scaling window: Black Friday prep began 2-3 weeks ahead of the event, then had to be unwound after the traffic spike passed. Infrastructure configuration: The infra team manually adjusted AWS EC2 capacity to support expected traffic. Application configuration: Scaling also required application-side changes, making peak readiness more than just an infrastructure task. War room prep: Chat channels and conference rooms were set up for teams to triage performance and downtime problems. Beyond the manual prep work, KIKO's dev team had to anticipate failure modes that hurt the business. Slow navigation and site instability made it hard for users to purchase, and, in Ant's words, they knew that at any point, "everything could break." Worry-free delivery and automatic scaling Vercel changed the work from preparation to execution. With environments available on demand, faster builds, and automatic scaling during traffic spikes, Ant's team stopped planning around infrastructure limits and focused on the ecommerce experience itself. Environments without the bottleneck KIKO's old setup r
