Problem
Traditional Continuous Integration (CI) pipelines often incur significant cloud compute costs due to redundant compilation of unchanged source code. This inefficiency slows down development cycles and increases operational expenditures for software development teams.
Solution
NativeLink provides a parallel compute platform designed to accelerate advanced CI processes by minimizing redundant compilation through content-addressable storage. The platform offers secure remote build execution, enabling distributed builds across multiple cores to enhance efficiency and speed. Additionally, it includes a fully managed simulation runtime at no cost, further boosting development velocity. NativeLink ensures universal language and platform compatibility, facilitating straightforward implementation for projects of any scale.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes software development teams and DevOps engineers working with large codebases who are looking to optimize their CI/CD pipelines for speed and cost efficiency.
Features
- Content-Addressable Storage (CAS) for compute-efficient builds by identifying and reusing unchanged source code artifacts.
- Secure Remote Build Execution (RBE) with support for multi-core distribution to accelerate build times.
- Single Sign-On (SSO) and packet integrity features for authenticated user and worker access to projects.
- A free, fully managed simulation runtime environment.
- Universal compatibility with popular languages (e.g., C++, Rust, Python) and build tools (e.g., Bazel, Buck2, Reclient).
- Built using Rust for memory safety, reduced runtime errors, and elimination of race conditions.
- Open-source build cache and remote executor for rapid deployment within 10 minutes.
- Support for major cloud providers including AWS and GCP.
