Remote Builds

Remote builds allow

• massive parallelization, and
• executing builds on heterogeneous executors, e.g.
  • special GPU hardware,
  • extreme resource demands on CPU/mem,
  • connected hardware, e.g. test hardware for embedded systems.

Integration with Existing Providers

There are already providers for build executors and we should be able to use them, e.g.:

• providers for the Bazel Remote Execution protocol, or
• nix.

Minimal requirements

It would be nice if executing an action remotely had minimal requirements, e.g. like anything that can execute the zack-agent binary.
