Earthly is a build automation tool that combines familiar Dockerfile and Makefile syntax to define reproducible builds that run consistently across local machines and CI/CD pipelines. Developers use it to standardize build processes, containerize workflows, and cache build artifacts efficiently without managing complex Docker or shell scripts. It's particularly useful for teams that want simpler, more maintainable build configurations across multiple projects and environments.
