Feedback

I tried some of your tips right after the talk and already managed to reduce our build time.

What a great and interesting talk! I've learned much things that I can take with me in my projects. So thanks 🙏🏻

Very useful and practically applicable presentation with straight forward applicable steps to monitor and improve maven build s performance, liked it!

My teammates will surely be impressed thanks to all the means you shared with us to improve our builds system.

Well-structured, clearly explained and nicely hands-on as well.

Thanks for the great and interesting talk! Will try out a few things.
