About:
Earthly is a build automation tool that combines the flexibility of Docker with the declarative power of Make. It allows developers to create repeatable builds that run consistently in any environment, from local machines to CI pipelines. By leveraging containerization, it ensures builds are isolated, reproducible, and easy to debug.

Key Features:

Declarative build syntax similar to Dockerfiles
Repeatable builds across local and CI environments
Layer caching for fast incremental builds
Support for multiple programming languages and frameworks
Parallel execution of build steps

Use Cases:

Creating reproducible CI/CD pipelines
Simplifying complex multi-language build processes
Containerizing existing build workflows
Sharing builds across development teams

Alternatives:

Make – Make lacks containerization and cross-platform consistency
Docker – Docker focuses on container runtime, not build orchestration
Bazel – Bazel is more complex and opinionated for large-scale monorepos
