Environments: simpler multi-platform workflows

Environments: simpler multi-platform workflows

Now you can cross-test or cross-build your code on multiple different platforms concurrently, using Environments. Pants uses its precise knowledge of your build’s deps to run exactly the relevant processes inside reusable Docker containers (or evenly remotely on a cluster of workers)…

Fast Incremental Builds with Speculation and Cancellation

Fast Incremental Builds with Speculation and Cancellation

Fast incremental re-builds are critical in large codebases and monorepos. Thanks to deep support for cancellation and a side-effect free execution model, Pants is able to further reduce re-build latency by speculatively re-executing work.

Dependency inference: Precise caching and concurrency, without the boilerplate

Dependency inference: Precise caching and concurrency, without the boilerplate

Scalable build tools have historically meant a significant boilerplate burden. But it doesn’t have to be that way! Pants v2 supports all of the caching, concurrency, and introspection you need to scale your repository, with significantly less boilerplate, thanks to… Dependency inference!
