Simple, Fast, Consistent Builds
1,000,000
builds run on Earthly every month
9X
9 times faster builds
Switching to Earthly took us from 45 minutes to 20 minutes, and using
Satellites took us from like 20 minutes to 4 or 5 on average.
By using Earthly, we enabled developers to execute complex CI pipelines
on their laptops without having to commit any code!
Decrease in build time after Earthly
Earthly Cloud reduced our average build time from 20 minutes to 3
minutes and was quick and straightforward to set up and use.
By providing rapid build times, intelligent caching, and repeatability,
Earthly enables a better approach to the coordination of development and
deployment.
Why Earthfiles?
With Earthfiles, all builds are self-contained, consistent, portable, and language agnostic.

- Easily reproduce CI failures locally
- Containers make builds self-contained, isolated, consistent, and portable
- Correct execution, regardless of the environment
- New colleagues get started fast: no special configuration necessary
Rebuild only what has changed
- Automatically caches results at each step of the build
- Redundant work is eliminated in subsequent builds
- Caching makes builds fast and efficient
- No configuration required
Ridiculously Fast Builds!
- 2-20x faster builds in CI
- Rebuild only what has changed
- Automatic parallel execution
- Automatic caching with no configuration required
- Like layer caching, but for the entire pipeline, not just for images
- No upload/download of cache – instantly available

Super simple,
not just for the build guru
- Quickly grasp Earthfiles without prior knowledge
- Syntax that is easy to write and understand by all engineers
- It's like Dockerfile and Makefile had a baby

build:
COPY main.go .
RUN go build -o build/go-example main.go
SAVE ARTIFACT build/go-example AS LOCAL build/go-example

Great for
monorepos and polyrepos
- Works with both monorepos and polyrepos
- Builds can be split across multiple subdirectories or even repositories
- Reuse, don't repeat: reference builds, recipes, artifacts, and images from other locations
