Introduction
Building software can take a long time if done on a single machine. Distributed builds split the work across many machines to finish faster and avoid delays.
When your software project grows and takes too long to build on one computer
When multiple developers need to build and test code at the same time without waiting
When you want to use different machines for different parts of the build, like testing on Windows and Linux
When you want to avoid overloading one machine and keep builds running smoothly
When you want faster feedback on code changes by running builds in parallel
