Blaze

What Blaze is

Blaze is a free build system aimed mainly at monorepos, with general task running and productivity tooling among its other uses. It runs multiple tasks across a repository and manages dependencies between projects, with parallel execution and a configurable cache for reusing completed work. Its task graph coordinates work, while the listed cache scope is local; remote caching is not included. Configuration can be written in JSON, YAML or Jsonnet, including advanced templating, and a plugin system runs tasks through executors. Blaze says it supports any language or framework without affecting application code. It does not manage application dependencies, analyze code or track the technologies a project uses. Teams can keep integration and deployment processes in the monorepo and write them once for reuse. Linux, macOS and Windows are supported, with prebuilt binaries for common platforms. The project is still under development, and its site invites contributors to help stabilize it ahead of an alpha release. Documentation points users to GitHub issues for bugs and links to a Discord community. The Free plan is free.
