$ ridge build

Incremental at any scale

Content addressed cache. Rebuilds only what changed. Works with 1 package or 10,000.

$ ridge test

Only what depends on your diff

Test graph aware. Runs the tests that could have broken, not everything.

$ ridge deploy

Ships the artifacts you built

No rebuild before deploy. Reuses the artifact from the last passing build.

Watch a real build run.

1,247 packages, mixed TypeScript / Rust / Go monorepo. Cold on a fresh clone.
