I got involved with the Buildbot project only this year (focusing on Python 3 porting).
I am aware of previous reports of performance problems with buildbot nine, but that is a bit before my time. I believe that the earlier performance problems have been addressed. On the buildbot-users mailing list, there are some people in companies who have set up buildbot nine and have a master handling hundreds of builds. The references implementation of buildbot is being actively used to build buildbot itself, and highlights integration with GitHub Pull Requests: https://nine.buildbot.net/#/console -- Craig On Wed, Sep 20, 2017 at 8:16 AM, David Edelsohn <dje....@gmail.com> wrote: > When another project tried to convert from Buildbot 0.8 to 0.9 earlier > this year, it was a total disaster and had to be reverted.
