This is part of a series of blog posts on Scala compilation in the cloud: Using Scala in the Cloud: A Guide to Amazon EC2 Instance Types (this one) Scala Compilation Got 5x Faster With Triplequote Hydra We ran a number of Scala compilation benchmarks and look at what instance type is the fastest and what offers the best cost per build.
