<p>Indeed, introducing new builders may pollute the list of
builders, which I used to think as a bot's public interface. You
could maybe prefix them with a label ([internal]) and make sure
they show up at the end of the list ?</p>
<p>I have never investigated the code of buildbot that makes the
interface between builders and steps; but moving from sequential
steps to possibly parallel ones seems like a big conceptual
change.</p>

Thanks Clement, that’s what I read online as well. But I feel like
having multiple builders make it not quite flexible, and may
confuse our users.
<div class="">Is it easy to enable parallel steps? If I want to do
a pull request for it, do you have any suggestions?<br class="">

<p class="">Hi Yixing,</p>
<p class=""> I believe it is not possible to
parallelize steps within a single builder. However,
if you're OK to have multiple builders; you could
move each parallelizable step to another builder and
<a moz-do-not-send="true"

class="">trigger</a> all these spinoff builders
from the main builder.</p>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Hi there,
We are using buildbot for CI tests. In our build we have 20 steps but most of them could be fully parallelized. We wonder if we can allow parallel steps from the single build, this will allow us to run the entire build much faster.
Thanks,
Yixing
