My mind was blown when we invested a week in setting up DevOps, then realised it has a critical flaw in that the automated build agent will just go into hibernation if there was no build activity for a few hours. So then you have to write a script that invokes a manual build via the API just to keep DevOps "alive". It's like they forgot to properly setup the IIS Worker Pool timeout values or something.

@nbevans I'm an engineer on Azure DevOps. This is the first we've heard of this issue, can you provide more details? What error do you see? By hibernation do you mean Windows hibernation? Feel free to reach out to me at my HN name at microsoft.com.

@nbevans could you provide a few more details here on the agent and where it is hosted? The agent itself does not rely on the IIS worker pool and we are not aware of any bugs in this area. If we have some we would love to get them addressed.
