Abstract

Distributed build systems are used for building large codebases, which generate many files. These can becompiled more efficiently in parallel. Builds on single machines cannot scale to larger software projects.Spreading compilation across multiple machines can improve performance. However, achieving this consistency and reproducibility for different builds
