About

BuildKit is a toolkit for converting source code into container images and build artifacts. It features concurrent dependency resolution, multi-backend caching, rootless execution, and support for pluggable frontends beyond standard Dockerfiles. It runs as a background daemon (buildkitd) and is operated through the buildctl CLI or embedded container runtimes.

From the repository: “concurrent, cache-efficient, and Dockerfile-agnostic builder toolkit”
