Hello HN.
Earthly is a tool for build automation and we just had our biggest release yet.
Earthly is a modern build solution that is similar to a sandboxed makefile. It works with your existing CI and the #1 reason people use it today is to able to reproduce a CI build locally.
Today we promoted a number of important features to GA status in our 0.6 release including:
- WITH DOCKER : Earthly can execute any number of containers in parallel, via an isolated Docker daemon that it starts up within.
- User-Defined Commands: Extract common repetitive build steps into a command you can use across your projects.
- Shared Cache: Earthly v0.6 now provides shared caching. This extends our existing build caching to work in ephemeral CI runners by storing the cache in regular container registries.
We started working on this project in 2020[1] on GitHub [2] and while time has gone quickly the number of people and projects using Earthly now is truly exciting.
Let me know what you think! Feature requests always welcome :)
