Build Farm

Definitions

1. A collection of machines or workers dedicated to compiling, testing, or packaging software. In engineering slang, build farm often implies a whole managed fleet rather than a single CI runner.

   In plain English: A group of machines used for builds and related automation.

   Example: "They expanded the build farm after mobile and backend jobs started competing for the same small pool of workers during every release week."
