Summary

Prebuilds is a new feature launched by Daytona, designed to turbocharge development environments. Prebuilds are pre-configured workspace environments built ahead of time based on project configuration, significantly reducing setup times and allowing developers to start coding in record time. They can be automatically triggered by specified events such as new commits or changes to specific files. To set up Prebuilds, users need to run a command to configure their settings, including selecting the project configuration, setting commit intervals, specifying trigger files, and controlling build retention policies. Key features of Prebuilds include automatic triggers, customizable configurations, build retention, and prebuild status monitoring. The benefits of using Prebuilds include faster startup times, improved productivity, consistent environments, resource efficiency, and optimized resource usage. Users can get started by setting up Prebuilds for their project, creating a new workspace, and using the latest prebuild to speed up the process.
