We currently have all our services rebuilt upon merges to the repo and it gets quite lengthy. Some services take up to 25 mins to rebuild due to the queue. It would be nice if we could prioritise the order of services to be built in? I know there are other solutions such as not rebuilding every service based on a single push to something unrelated but this would still be a nice feature rather than the rebuild to just being randomly queued.

Hello Jason,
For this, I would definitely recommend using watch paths -

yeah I've seen this. It wouldn't exactly work for us as our repo is a monorepo and we pretty much build everything in house so alot of the apps within are reliant on other packages.

Watch paths work great for mono-repos, that is their main usecase!

yeah but a watch path for a single service would be like 6-8 different paths to watch haha. not to mention that some would just get retriggered due to another service watching the same path

I'm not aware of there being any limits for how many watch paths you can specify.

yeah but that's the point it would exponitially grow. not to mention the issue where something changes in a specific path but not directly related to a different service watching the same path. We also currently have about ~50 services so you could imagine.
