Value Prop
GitHub Actions will address the long-standing community ask to support running multiple steps in parallel in GitHub Actions
Expected Outcome
There will be two primary feature components:
- The ability to designate some steps as
background steps, which will allow them to run without blocking the start of subsequent steps. We will also add additional wait steps where users can synchronize sequential execution and cancel steps that allow the graceful termination of long running background steps
- A
parallel block that will enable customers to designate a set of steps that will run in parallel. This block will be syntactic sugar that uses background steps and a wait command under the hood.
