"We never experienced any problems with scalability."

More Concourse for VMware Tanzu Pros →

"I have not encountered any scalability issues with GNU Make. It is as scalable as the project's structure is, and then some.""GNU Make is such an essential tool that it is almost impossible to imagine working without it. Not having it, developers would probably have to resort to doing everything manually or via shell scripts.""Full-featured syntax allows building strategies as simple or as complex as one wishes, and declarative approach fits the task really well. Wide adoption also means that everybody knows what GNU Make is and how to use it.""Makefiles are extremely easy to work with using any preferred editor. GNU Make can be run directly from the terminal, not requiring any time wasted on clicking.""Setup is extremely straightforward."
