Earthly aims to revolutionize the build process for developers by providing a tool that ensures builds are self-contained, reproducible, portable, and parallel, addressing common frustrations such as slow, brittle, and inconsistent build systems. By leveraging Docker-like containerization, Earthly brings innovations like BuildKit and OCI images into an accessible package that isolates build targets, eliminating dependencies on local environments. This approach not only simplifies the build process but also enhances reproducibility across different platforms, overcoming challenges like cross-system compatibility issues. With support from industry veterans and institutional investors, Earthly plans to further enhance its tool by incorporating shared caching and highly parallel cloud-based builds, striving to foster collaboration rather than hindrance among engineering teams. The company is committed to continuous improvement and values user feedback to refine their offerings, while also providing universal SDLC monitoring to achieve engineering excellence.
