Hi Divij and all,

Regarding the speeding up of the build & de-flaking tests, LinkedIn has
done some great work which we probably can borrow ideas from.
In the LinkedIn/Kafka repo, we can see one of their most recent PRs
<https://github.com/linkedin/kafka/pull/500/checks> only took < 9 min(unit
test) + < 12 min (integration-test) + < 9 (code check) = < 30 min to finish
all the checks:

   1. Similar to what David(mumrah) has mentioned/experimented with, the
   LinkedIn team used GitHub Actions, which displayed the results in a cleaner
   way directly from GitHub.
   2. Each top-level package is checked separately to increase the
   concurrency. To further boost the speed for integration tests, the tests
   inside one package are divided into sub-groups(A-Z) based on their
   names(see this job
   <https://github.com/linkedin/kafka/actions/runs/7303478151/> for
   details).
   3. Once the tests are running at a smaller granularity with a decent
   runner, heavy integration tests are less likely to be flaky, and flaky
   tests are easier to catch.
