Best practices

Read Through Sam's Talk with the following take aways http://schd.ws/hosted_files/jenkinsworld20162017/fb/Pipelines%20at%20Scale-%20How%20big%20How%20fast%20How%20many.pdf

• When to consolidate steps
• Counting how many steps are being run in a long running stage
• Using Sh'Curl+extract+return stdout' instead of parsing in pipeline
• Limiting the scope of large files and variables
• Understanding @NonCPS and when to use
