Setting up a CI pipeline with GitHub Webhooks and REST API feedback - Demo
Q: Why did you choose the CI to run on every push instead of a PR to the main?
A: For simplicity purposes. In a real world scenario you would ideally run the tests and compile before you merge to the main branch to avoid bad code in the important branches.

[anica279p]

Question related to: #2704 - Demo
Question: Is there a way to make the latency shorter, due to the cloning and installing of dependencies?
Answer: Yes, once you install your dependencies, they should be cached, making the process faster and using incremental builds rather than rebuilding from scratch.

[riccacocco]

Question related to: Week 2 Demo Github Actions #2700
Q: Are the rules implemented by cubic ai automatically imported in the GitHub repository or the user have to do specific action for implementing it?
A: after logging in in cubic AI with the GitHub account you chose the repository that you want, and GitHub automatically set the new rules on the project.

[VincentLagerros]

Question related to: #2700 - Cubic Demo
Q: Is this service a free or is there a paid version? Moreover, can be hosted locally with your own LLM?
A: No, this is a paid service, but codex is an alternative.

[hexakon]

Question about #2700 Demo
Q: Advantages of using an AI that creates pull requests like Cubic, instead of a "local" LLM like Cursor or Copilot?
A: Cubic additionally has context of all the issues and pull requests, and can generate summaries with context of all of that. So it's very useful for peer/assigned reviewers to quickly catch up on what's happening.

[alexmatcov]

Question related to: #2700
Question: What do you think went wrong with cubic not being able to review the PR in time for the demo?
Answer: This might be related to the LLM behind cubic taking longer time due to unknown constraints to review the PR.

[fianmian]

Question related to: #2700 Breaking and Fixing a React App with CI Guards - Demo
Q: Can Cubic identify bugs by itself, or does it only help fix bugs you have identified?
A: It can actually find issues with the commits. But this can take a longer time. In big systems, it can identify many issues. It is not always that those issues are relevant. You can choose which of those issues you want to change.

[ShreyasSawai09]

Question on Demo #2705 What happens when some of the tasks fails, will the other independent tasks also fail?

Yes, we have to redo the whole pipeline again.

Presentation #2705 | Stop Rebuilding the Wheel: Accelerating Monorepos with Turborepo's Remote Cache

Q: You talk alot about monorepos, is there any reason we cannot, or should not use turborepo with non-monorepositories? Things like tests can still take a while to run even in non-monorepos.

A: While turborepo advertises itself as a solution for monorepos specifically, there is no inherent reason why you would not be able to use it in a non-monorepo project. Of course the benefits of using it would be greater if you have a monorepo. Turborepo themselves say that you can use it just fine with non-monorepos.

Question on presentation #2705

Q: it's considered a common practice to not store sensitive in code and instead to keep sensitive information in secret manager. So what other security concerns will be?

A: keep in mind that it's possible we might have sensitive information stored in the built artifacts, so it's better to think about the security aspect of it.

[foodelevator]

Question on #2705 Stop Rebuilding the Wheel: Accelerating Monorepos with Turborepo's Remote Cache

Q: Does Turborepo integrate with or replace npm? And does it work for languages other than JavaScript?

A: Turborepo is specific to JavaScript and Typescript and works in conjunction with npm, rather than replacing it.

[SaiBon99]

Question on #2704 - Demo

Q: Is the pipline only configured on the main brnach

A: No, it's configured on all branches

[adammeh]

Question to #2726
Demo title: Automated A/B Testing with Feature Flags

Q: You mentioned that half the users get one version and half get another. How does the split work? How does it determine who gets what? Is it random or can you specify who gets which version?

A: You can specify who gets which versions by geo location, time of day, etc... However, generally, for A/B testing, you want it to be as general as possible for most cases.

[putastep]

Question related to: Automated A/B Testing with Feature Flags #2726 - Demo
Q: Is it necessary to use 50 % and 50 % split, or is it better to use some other percentages?
A: No, you can use any other percentages, but it's good to have a large testing size.
