Abstract: Techniques are provided for managing and isolating build process pipelines. The system can encapsulate all the information needed for each build process step in a build context structure, which may be accessible to the build process step. Each build process step can receive input from the build context, and can generate a child build context as output. Accordingly, the build pipeline may be parallelized, duplicated, and/or virtualized securely and automatically, and the build context can carry, organize, and isolate data for each task. The build context from each step can also be stored and subsequently inspected, e.g. for problem-solving. A computing device can execute a first build step configured to generate the build context including a plurality of output objects. The computing device further executes a second build step based on the build context, which is accessible to the second build step but isolated from other processes.
