The build team does not recommend using Goma -- it does not work particularly well with the Android build, and we expect to be removing support for it in master in the coming months (support will most likely still be in this years release, but not next years).
RBE is the replacement, but it's still evolving at the moment. Many of our CI builds have switched to it (they never used Goma), but only a handful of developers have used it so far. If you're interested in this, I'd highly recommend asking your TAM about it (or if you don't have one, contact me and I can try to route your request to the right team). For what we're doing (other than Goma/RBE), the majority of our CI builds are done on n1-standard-64 <https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/machine-types#n1_machine_type> machines with SSD persistent disks. Depending on your limitations/requirements, the newer C2/N2 machine families may be more efficient. For local developers, we're generally buying fast desktops -- 2x Intel Xeon GOLD 6154 processor (18-core Skylake, up to 3.70 GHz) with 192 GB RAM and a few TB of SSDs. - Dan On Sun, Mar 1, 2020 at 11:52 PM 'Orion Hodson' via Android Building < android-building@googlegroups.com> wrote: > Hi Alexander > > Internally Android developers use goma.
