Lyft iOS tooling infrastructure summary 2022

Transcript

2. Scale Code • 9 apps • 100% Swift since 2015 rewrite • ~1.5m lines of app code • ~600k lines of test code • Another ~1m lines of generated code • Split across ~2500 different modules People • ~140 committers per month • ~230 commits per week • ~2 tooling engineers
3. Continuous Integration Hardware • 100 ~85 Intel / ~10 M1 Mac Minis, many AWS Linux containers • Macs are Bare Metal, managed with ARD • Piloting AWS Mac Minis Software • Buildkite, generated pipelines for many parallel jobs • Xcode upgrades performed quickly, single version supported • Linux CI managed with k8s, runs linters, some Swift • macOS upgrades performed as needed for Xcode
4. Build Speed CI (Build + Test) • P50: 15 min (~2x slower last year) • P95: 30 min (~2x slower last year) • Slowdown mostly due to more tests Local (Build) • Average* build**: ~40s (~1.5 faster than last year) • Still trying to push dev apps • All devs on M1 Max machines now
6. Tooling • IDE: Xcode with custom XcodeGen based bazel integration • Build System: Bazel (now on Android too!) with rules_apple & rules_swift (since early 2019) • Dependency Management: Bazel + Artifactory with custom BUILD files • Caching / Limited remote exec: BuildBuddy • Testing: XCTest & XCUITest
7. • LLD: ~2x faster than ld64 even after Xcode 14 improvements • Crossplatform Rust: Low level shared libraries, replacement for C++ (🙊) in some cases • Natively supporting arm64 simulator: Surprising number of issues, Snapshot tests, OpenGL map SDKs, Bazel caching • Automated provisioning profile management: Using the App Store Connect API directly • Dead Code detection blocking PRs • Swift incremental support: Still too slow, >3x clean build times, faster in specific cases • M1s Recent Updates
8. Pain Points & Plans • Builds times increasing: More dev apps • CI machines reaching EOL: Replacing with AWS • More longer running UI tests: Aggressive sharding • Increasing amount of cross platform code: Improve crossplatorm devx • Nearing the end of clear wins: ???
9. • AWS Mac Minis: Get out of the business of hosting hardware • Swift LTO: Some existing bugs, potential nice app size win • Improved IDE experience: Moving to rules_xcodeproj • Unifying more devx between iOS and Android • Remote exec? Still backburner Future plans
