Build Server

Definitions

1. A server dedicated to running builds, tests, and artifact packaging for a codebase or set of projects. Build servers centralize toolchains and automation, but they also need careful capacity planning and isolation so one broken job does not disrupt every team.

   In plain English: A server that runs builds and tests for software projects.

   Example: "The old self-hosted build server was replaced after long queues and disk exhaustion started delaying every release by hours."
