Build priority based on branch
C
Charles Cote
I'd like my workflow on master branch to run asap - and before any pull request workflows that are in progress.
I am currently using AWS CodePipeline to handle my master branch because of the current limitations.(But I guess that would be solved by https://discuss.circleci.com/t/auto-scaling-and-pay-per-use-option/16152/7 ?)

add ability to set queue priority by branch

for example i could give the master branch a higher priority so it would always run before other branches. This would allow you to get a production build out immediately instead of having to wait for feature branch builds

Job Priority in Workflows

Seems like lots of people would like this feature -- see https://discuss.circleci.com/t/job-priority-in-workflows/16893/9 for example. Adding a simple option that would let us make some workflow jobs higher-priority than others could really help us tune our CI setup to finish faster.

It seems https://discuss.circleci.com/t/job-priority-in-workflows/16893 is merged in here, https://ideas.circleci.com/ideas/CCI-I-664 but in my opinion these are different things. The overall topic is priority, but there should be a distinction between:
- priority on branch
- priority of the jobs that first get started in a workflow when a runner is available (e.g. because it is slowest, has dependent jobs that rely on it)

We'd love to have this in our team to fix the issue of waiting on master deploy jobs stuck behind feature branch test runs.

+1000 to this - with workflows allowing us to break up jobs even further, this has become even more important.
