Run block of Bash code in parallel

Recently, I have a use case to build multi-language packages of Angular app which need to be done in compile time. I need a case where I need to compile the app in parallel since the number of language is increasing month by month. Although I still don’t have a good solution for this problem, I have a workaround for the number of language I have.

These are the codes I use

#!/usr/bin/env sh

build_multi(){
-  "$(npm bin)"/ng build --prod --base-href /eng/ --output-path=dist/eng
-  "$(npm bin)"/ng build --prod --base-href /ara/ --output-path=dist/ara --aot --i18n-file=src/i18n/messages.ara.xlf --i18n-locale=ar --i18n-format=xlf
-  "$(npm bin)"/ng build --prod --base-href /spa/ --output-path=dist/spa --aot --i18n-file=src/i18n/messages.spa.xlf --i18n-locale=es --i18n-format=xlf
-  "$(npm bin)"/ng build --prod --base-href /fra/ --output-path=dist/fra --aot --i18n-file=src/i18n/messages.fra.xlf --i18n-locale=fr --i18n-format=xlf
-  "$(npm bin)"/ng build --prod --base-href /nep/ --output-path=dist/nep --aot --i18n-file=src/i18n/messages.nep.xlf --i18n-locale=ne --i18n-format=xlf
-  "$(npm bin)"/ng build --prod --base-href /som/ --output-path=dist/som --aot --i18n-file=src/i18n/messages.som.xlf --i18n-locale=so --i18n-format=xlf
+  {
+    "$(npm bin)"/ng build --prod --base-href /eng/ --output-path=dist/eng
+    "$(npm bin)"/ng build --prod --base-href /ara/ --output-path=dist/ara --aot --i18n-file=src/i18n/messages.ara.xlf --i18n-locale=ar --i18n-format=xlf
+    "$(npm bin)"/ng build --prod --base-href /spa/ --output-path=dist/spa --aot --i18n-file=src/i18n/messages.spa.xlf --i18n-locale=es --i18n-format=xlf
+  } &
+  {
+    "$(npm bin)"/ng build --prod --base-href /fra/ --output-path=dist/fra --aot --i18n-file=src/i18n/messages.fra.xlf --i18n-locale=fr --i18n-format=xlf
+    "$(npm bin)"/ng build --prod --base-href /nep/ --output-path=dist/nep --aot --i18n-file=src/i18n/messages.nep.xlf --i18n-locale=ne --i18n-format=xlf
+    "$(npm bin)"/ng build --prod --base-href /som/ --output-path=dist/som --aot --i18n-file=src/i18n/messages.som.xlf --i18n-locale=so --i18n-format=xlf
+  } &
+  wait
}

Basically, we wrap the sequential execution in {} block and make it run in the background with &. Then we initiate several blocks which run in the background and each block will building three languages in parallel. Then we wait until all the background processes are finished.

While this is only a suboptimal solution, this save 4 minutes of build time. Given we are using free Open Source Travis CI package to build the app and our code. Maybe you can use this technique to your own use case.

9 Hal yang Saya Pelajari dari Startup Tahap Awal (Early Stage)

Sekitar 9 bulan yang lalu saya putuskan untuk meninggalkan pekerjaan saya yang nyaman di startup unicorn bernama Go-Jek dan pindah ke startup kecil yang baru saja dimulai. Keputusan itu sangat berat, selain karena saya sudah membangun hubungan yang kuat dengan tim, orang tua yang lebih mendukung pekerjaan saya yang nyaman di Go-Jek, dan yang paling penting meninggalkan Bos atau manager saya yang saya kagumi dan sangat membantu dalam karir saya. Namun startup ini memberikan tempat saya bereksperimen untuk mulai belajar arti dari kewirausahaan atau entrepreneurship. Untuk mempermudah cerita, sebut saja ini adalah startup X.

I want to tell story about my task today. The story began from when I was in high school. I was very interested with computer, but when I graduated from high school, my parents little bit skeptical about career in computing since they have no idea about what it is and at that time career in computing is not popular as it is now. So, I decided to enter engineering physics program in one of the biggest university in the country. Well, at that time admitted here is relatively easy. I’m not that smart and the program was not popular at that time.
