👋 Welcome to the CMake RE Documentation

CMake RE ( Remote Execution for CMake ) is a solution for native developers to accelerate their build and test workflows, shifting CI left to enjoy building at the speed of their fingertips enabled best-in-class dual layered bulk and fine-grained caching.

cmake-re is a thin CMake wrapper augmenting CMake with remoting, caching and fine grained test parallelization. As plain CMake it embraces a flexible mindset with zero lock-in, following the motto : if it works with plain CMake it works faster with CMake RE.

We are regularly adding new features and publish updates on our blog and newsletter frequently. Please get in touch to learn more about our roadmap.

Building with CMake RE

• Get started here

Supported Languages

Any language supported by default CMake is supported by CMake RE, proper remoting and caching however requires additional customizations and support to reap off full build performance, which we track here.

Programming Language	Support Status
C & C++	✅ beta
Rust	🦀 alpha
Swift	alpha

Missing your favorite language ? You can support it with custom environments.

What can I do with CMake RE?

CMake RE is a suite that provides the following 4 main foundational features to achieve fast, easy and scalable Rust and C++ development:

• Containerized CMake Builds
• Build folder caching ( CMake RE L1 Cache ) connected straight to sources in git repositories
  • Local to speed up you on-prem CI nodes
  • Remote & shared
  • Cache as a dependency manager
• Build environments provisioning and build distribution on powerful autoscaled cloud build machines with hundreds of cores and terabytes of RAM ( CMake RE L2 Remoting )
• Cross-platform building + testing on Linux, Windows, macOS or custom.

How can I start building with Tipi in the cloud?

To get the full Tipi experience we offer our users a free trial.

Can I build with CMake RE locally?

Yes! You can benefit from CMake RE from pure local use, guaranteeing build reproducibility with CMake RE containerized builds and CMake RE L1 local caching.

Open Source

We believe in the power of the community and that is why we created cmake-re free forever and we are contributors of many open source project. You can access our Open Source projects on our GitHub organisation.

For teams and company-wide usage we also have a commercial offer, see Support Plans.
