moby/buildkit
concurrent, cache-efficient, and Dockerfile-agnostic builder toolkit
The engine quietly powering every modern docker build — BuildKit is the standalone build engine behind docker build since Docker Engine 23.0, handling concurrent dependency resolution, efficient caching, and pluggable frontends beyond plain Dockerfiles. It supports rootless execution, multiple output formats (OCI, containerd, registry), and distributable workers, making it the core piece anyone building custom container build pipelines should understand.
Metrics
