You use Azure Pipelines to build and test a React.js application.
You have a pipeline that has a single job.
You discover that installing JavaScript packages from npm takes approximately five minutes each time you run the pipeline.
You need to recommend a solution to reduce the pipeline execution time.

Q.1 – Solution: You recommend defining a container job that uses a custom container that has the JavaScript packages preinstalled.
Does this meet the goal?

A. Yes
B. No

Correct Answer: B

Instead enable pipeline caching.
Note: npm-cache is a command line utility that caches dependencies installed via npm, bower, jspm and composer.
It is useful for build processes that run [npm|bower|composer|jspm] install every time as part of their build process. Since dependencies don’t change often, this often means slower build times. npm-cache helps alleviate this problem by caching previously installed dependencies on the build machine.
