Why Remote Build Execution?

Remote Build Execution (RBE) offers significant advantages over local builds:
Distribute your build across many machines to dramatically reduce build times. What takes minutes locally can take seconds with RBE.
Execute builds in a consistent, hermetic environment. No more “works on my machine” issues.
Share build artifacts across your entire team. When one developer builds something, everyone benefits from the cached results.
Offload resource-intensive builds from developer machines. Your laptop stays responsive while powerful remote machines handle the heavy lifting.
