Introduction ​

Fabrik is an open-source, vendor and environment-agnostic technology that optimizes developer, CI, and agentic workflows.

Why Fabrik? ​

The landscape of software development is transforming rapidly. With the rise of agentic coding and AI-assisted development, the amount of code we're producing is growing exponentially. Development workflows—builds, tests, scripts—are running more frequently across more diverse environments than ever before.

Modern development tools are powerful, but they're often locked into specific vendors, cloud platforms, or execution environments. Teams find themselves constrained by tooling choices, unable to optimize across their entire workflow, or forced to rebuild infrastructure when switching platforms.

That's where Fabrik comes in. Fabrik is the Kubernetes of development environments—a universal orchestration layer that sits between your workflows and infrastructure. It acts as the narrow waist between your tools and your infrastructure—a minimal, universal interface that any build tool, test runner, or script can plug into, and any storage backend or execution environment can support.

What is Fabrik? ​

Fabrik is a technology to build transparent, high-performance workflow optimization for builds, tests, and scripts across any environment. Whether you're running locally, in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or a custom cloud setup, Fabrik provides intelligent caching and execution without vendor lock-in. It's built with Rust for maximum speed and reliability.
