At large build scale, STW can prevent Jenkins from handling new requests. To avoid frequent STW while also increasing concurrency, it is recommended to set a larger heap, -Xms3g -Xmx6g -XX:MaxRAM=6g.

1. Decoupling the Engine to Unlock Pipeline Capabilities When designing a system, we often face a dilemma. Do we contain the complexity and offer a single, easy-to-use capability to the outside; or do we release the complexity and return flexibility to the user? This is a real test of product
