What is Remote Execution?

Remote execution is a powerful feature that allows you to distribute build and test actions across multiple machines, such as a data center. This can significantly speed up your build times and improve your development workflow.

By leveraging remote execution, you can enjoy the following benefits:

  • Faster build and test execution: By distributing actions across multiple nodes, you can execute builds and tests in parallel, significantly reducing the overall time required.
  • Consistent execution environment: Remote execution ensures that all members of a development team are working in the same environment, reducing the “it works on my machine” problem.
  • Reuse of build outputs: Build outputs can be shared across a development team, reducing redundant work and further speeding up the development process.
