BuildBox

Reproducible build

All your project components and all involved tools required to build the deliverable are version constrained, so that the same deliverable can still be rebuilt years later

Unified process

Whatever the project, the setup and build process is the same. Newcomers learn it once, and a build machine needs no project specific knowledge

Isolated build environment

BuildBox runs in a container to avoid changes in developer's host system, and lets projects with conflicting toolchains live side by side

CRA compliance

A target lists every component of a delivery, pinned to an exact revision, which is most of a SBOM. The SBOM tools turn it into SPDX and CycloneDX documents
