As an example, teams I work with often set the Archive Artifacts include list to be `.`. They archive hundreds, and quite often, thousands of small files consisting of compiled assets; JavaScript, CSS, images, etc. There is a often cited solution to pre-zip files into a single archive file before using the Archive Artifacts feature to store the artifact. However, in practice, we find the extra step of pre-zipping files to be a point of friction/contention with our user base. As AWS S3 allows a high rate of simultaneous uploads, it seems reasonable to avoid burdening our users with the added friction, while also leveraging S3's support for a large number of simultaneous uploads. |
