EngFlow, an Austin, TX-based build acceleration company, announced the acquisition of tipi.build, a Zurich, Switzerland-based provider of fast remote C, C++ and Rust.
The amount of the deal was not disclosed.
The company also announced the public beta of CMake RE, a remote execution service for the CMake software build system users, as well as a new open source project, Hermetic FetchContent, which brings modern build system features to the C and C++ developers.
With the acquisition, customers will gain deeper expertise and more solutions for automated build system modernization and build caching with automated dependency analysis that communicates with EngFlow’s remote execution service.
Tipi.build provides fast remote C, C++ and Rust builds with caching technology based on CMake and Git. It empowers developers to test and build cross-platform instantly, and add cloud CPU cores when needed, bringing continuous integration to developers’ fingertips. Its products are used to develop critical software for the IoT, financial trading, medical devices, automotive sectors and more.
The public beta of CMake RE provides C and C++ customers with a tool for build acceleration, caching and remote execution that provides performance and reliability. Customers benefit from new features including local hermetic CMake builds, build and dependency caching (L1), and build distribution across autoscaled cloud build machines (L2), allowing cross-platform building and testing on Linux, Windows, MacOS and custom OSes.
Led by Helen Altshuler, CEO, EngFlow is the build and test acceleration company created by core Bazel engineers and funded by Andreessen Horowitz, Tiger Global and firstminute capital. Its secure (audited: SOC 2, type 2) remote execution, caching, and observability platform scales from 1 to 100,000+ cores and reduces build time by 5-10x and cloud costs by 20-50%. The platform is compatible with a variety of build systems, including Bazel, Buck v2, CMake, AOSP and Chromium.
