About:
Rebar3 is a command-line tool for building, testing, and releasing Erlang applications. It manages dependencies, compiles source code, and handles packaging for deployment. It provides a standardized workflow for Erlang developers, replacing older tools like Rebar with a more robust and deterministic approach.
Key Features:
  • Dependency management and fetching
  • Project compilation and code generation
  • Integrated testing and release management
  • Extensible via plugins
Use Cases:
  • Developing and building Erlang/OTP applications
  • Managing third-party library dependencies
  • Automating CI/CD pipelines for Erlang projects
Alternatives:
  • erlang.mk – A lightweight build tool based on Make, offering faster builds but a different configuration style compared to Rebar3's config-driven approach.
  • Mix – The standard build tool for Elixir, which shares some concepts but is specific to the Elixir ecosystem.
