In the spirit of GrantH’s and BHarry’s posts outlining various dogfooding statistics it seems fitting to start my blog post series with some Team Foundation Build specific statistics. To put these numbers in perspective our first end-to-end build completed on July 21st 2010.
We currently have 38 controllers, 14 of these are owned by the build lab and are used for producing official nightly builds of Main, PU branches, and a couple of feature branches. Another 23 controllers are used by PU branches and feature branches for producing unofficial builds, including gated check-in queues. The remaining controller is a drop controller which manages a number of drop machines that have SAN disks attached to them where completed builds are dropped.
| Official Build Controllers | Official Drop Controllers | Unofficial Controllers | Total Controllers |
| 14 | 1 | 23 | 38 |
Each official build typically consumes 4 build machines (for different architecture/flavor pairs) and 1 drop machine, unofficial builds typically consume 1 or 2 build machines (again for different architecture/flavor pairs).
| Official Build Machines | Official Drop Machines | Unofficial Build Machines | Total Build Agents |
| 281 | 23 | 56 | 360 |
These build resources are consumed by 93 definitions, each branch typically has 2 or 3 build definitions associated with it (English, localized, code coverage, etc.). Since introducing Team Foundation Build we’ve launched nearly 5,000 builds producing over 12 million information nodes and over 42 million fields associated with them. These information nodes contain information such as log entries but we also leverage them to store strongly-typed information against builds which I’ll discuss in more detail in a future post.
| Total Build Definitions | Total Builds | Total Build Information Nodes | Total Build Information Node Fields |
| 93 | 4,984 | 12,211,767 | 42,468,718 |
The largest Team Foundation Build tables in our database are:
| Table | Data Size | Index Size |
| tbl_Build | 12,152 KB | 1,688 KB |
| tbl_BuildInformation | 1,070,032 KB | 1,054,168 KB |
| tbl_BuildInformationField | 5,941,648 KB | 75,736 KB |
The query I used to produce these statistics is:
