Terrabuild RC1: Security, Artifacts, and a New Execution Core

The last Terrabuild beta was released on September 30th, 2024.

Since then, a lot has changed.

What started as incremental improvements eventually turned into a deeper evolution of Terrabuild’s architecture: stronger security guarantees, a redesigned execution model, a more powerful scripting system, and a new embedded console experience.

Over the past months, Terrabuild has evolved far beyond incremental fixes. Large parts of the execution engine, scripting system, and artifact model were redesigned to improve security, performance, and extensibility.

Today I’m happy to introduce Terrabuild RC1 (release 0.189.22).

This release focuses on five areas:

Security
Artifacts and caching
Batch execution
Graph execution engine
Scripting and language evolution

Security First

One of the most important changes in this cycle is a stronger security model.

Terrabuild now supports client-side encryption of artifacts before they are stored on the server. This means that build artifacts can be uploaded to remote storage without the server ever being able to read them.

The encryption key never leaves the client environment.

This approach significantly reduces the trust surface: storage infrastructure can remain simple while sensitive artifacts stay protected.

Other security improvements include:

Scripting hardening

Workspaces can define deny glob patterns
Combined with FScript (see below), extension execution is now safer.

Operational safety improvements

Stronger error propagation
Automatic tracking and termination of spawned processes
Stricter failure handling during graph execution

These changes aim to make Terrabuild safer both in local development environments and CI systems.

From Cache to Artifacts

Terrabuild originally relied on a classic build cache model.

During this cycle, that model evolved toward something more explicit: artifacts.

Artifacts represent materialized build outputs with clear ownership and lifecycle. They can exist locally or remotely, and Terrabuild now manages them at multiple levels:

Target-level artifacts
Extension-level artifacts
Workspace artifact caches

The system also introduces:

Managed artifacts
External cache policies
Better remote cache upload/download behavior
Improved restore vs rebuild correctness

This shift clarifies an important distinction: Terrabuild does not simply cache results — it manages build artifacts as first-class entities.

Batching Revisited

Batching returned in this cycle, but it did not come back unchanged.

The implementation was reintroduced and then completely redesigned.

Terrabuild now supports:

Proper batch computation
Atomic batch progress tracking
Consistent batch logs and reporting
Improved CI and local execution parity

Batching is also now dynamic for scripting commands.

Instead of declaring batching capabilities statically, Terrabuild can infer them from command results, allowing scripts to participate naturally in batched builds.

This significantly improves performance when building large dependency graphs.

A New Graph Execution Core

Perhaps the biggest internal change is the execution engine rewrite.

Terrabuild’s graph builder and scheduler were significantly refactored around a continuation-based execution model.

This enabled several improvements.

Smarter dependency evaluation

The engine now performs:

Cascade and cluster computation
Required-node fast paths
Skipping of non-required nodes
Delegated restore logic

This reduces unnecessary work in large graphs.

Better scheduling

The runtime now supports:

Prioritized scheduling
Background continuations for IO
Immediate scheduling stop on first error

Stronger concurrency guarantees

Several reliability improvements were made to the hub/pubsub system:

Lock improvements
Deadlock fixes
Safer node status handling
Stricter failure propagation

Overall, these changes make the engine more predictable under load while also improving performance on complex builds.

The Web Console

Terrabuild now includes an embedded web console directly inside the executable.

It provides:

A graph visualization
A terminal interface
Build parameters and metadata panels
Cache inspection tools
Notifications and live progress updates

The console aims to provide better runtime visibility without requiring external tooling.

Other improvements include:

Human-readable durations
Clearer progress rendering
Richer batch output
Interactive graph nodes and edges

The Rise of FScript

Another major change is the migration toward FScript-based scripting and extensions.

Legacy extension projects have progressively been replaced by scripts, which allows:

Faster iteration
Easier extension development
Safer execution boundaries

FScript is an interpreted language, allowing safe sandboxed execution of extensions.

Scripts are of course available if you want to implement your own extensions for custom behavior or integrations.

More information about FScript can be found at: https://magnusopera.github.io/FScript/

Toward Release

This release candidate represents more than a set of improvements.

It reflects a gradual shift in Terrabuild’s philosophy:

Artifacts instead of cache
Scripts instead of extension projects
Continuation-based execution instead of simple task scheduling
Client-side security instead of server trust

Terrabuild remains focused on the same goal:

Making build systems powerful without making them complex to maintain.

If you have been using Terrabuild since the beta, this release should feel more robust, safer, and significantly more capable.

RC1 marks the point where these architectural changes stabilize and move toward a final release.

Beta 2

contact@magnusopera.io (Magnus Opera) — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Terrabuild is getting a beta2 ! Here are new features:

Extensions in containers
Notarization for macOS
links
Storage tracking
New property
Optimizer removal

Latest release are available on GitHub.

Extensions in containers

Extensions can run in a container, this is great because this means zero deployments on dev environment but Terrabuild and Docker. Unfortunately, they used to be unreliable: build systems are not designed to be isolated this way. Investigations have led to shared memory usage. By enabling --pid=host and --ipc=host on containers, builds are now much more reliable now. Still not perfect but it’s getting close!

Notarization for macOS

Terrabuild is now notarized for macOS and compiled to universal binary. Still, if you want to create your own extension (using F# fsx), you still need to install .net SDK alongside.

Releases starting from 0.88 are notarized and universal binaries for macOS.

Links support

Links are a new addition to projects. The goal is to set a dependency between two projects but build order is not enforced. This is usefull when you know your CI is acting as a build barrier and you do not want to enforce a build order. A link allows you to use version function for example but without requiring target outputs to be downloaded.

Storage tracking

Storage consumption is now tracked and enforced. NOTE: API incompatibilities has been introduced so please, upgrade to 0.90 before. For evaluation, max storage is 1 Gb and is enforced for free accounts. Contact us if you need more for evaluation.

New property

terrabuild_ci nows tells if build is running is CI. Note a of now only GitHub is supported.

Optimizer removal

Sad news but the optimizer had to go away. Feature was hard to maintain and had too many ramifications across the board. The implication is build can be slower for .net projects (that was the only kind of project supporting optimizer). Not a big deal as only part of monorepo is built normally.

Removal of this feature will allow us to implement new ones. Stay tuned !

Beta !

Time for beta release! Terrabuild has gone several changes, and for good 🎉

Past months have been used to dogfood Terrabuild with Magnus Opera’s infrastructure (.net backend, React front-end, Kubernetes and other things deployed via Terraform). Dogfooding has helped a lot to squash several embarassing bugs, implement several really useful features and improve performance.

Stability

Terrabuild reached a really good level of stability:

Parser has been enhanced to report better errors and grammar has reached the required level of maturity
Performance of containers has improved a lot: home folder is now shared for same container architecture
Fix bug on reproducibility of the build (hash computation was incomplete)
Idempotency for local/remote build has been solved as well (hash was computed on different set of commands)

New optimizer

The new optimizer has much more power than previous one: it can now track multiple clusters of the same type on different causalities. Old optimizer was only able to optimize one cluster type for the whole build (for example, a single .net build was supported).

Here is a sample workspace

Reports

Build summary has been introduced on GitHub Actions:

Tasks summary
Build graph
Logs

The build summary provides an overview of build performance and status: it’s even better than current GitHub build log 😎

Partial graph invalidation

If a node has children and those are rebuilt appart, it’s obvious the node shall be rebuilt (because it is younger than children). That was the case in the same build - but not across builds.

This is now supported since it’s a valid scenario (for example with terraform plan/apply on several jobs).

Extensions

Rust (Cargo projects) has been added
Dotnet is able to optimize test command now

Overall performance

Accessing the global cache to check if a node is used are not was costly before: the whole summary and outputs were downloaded for all nodes 😬 This was inefficient since most of the time only a few nodes changes and only node status is required.

Terrabuild implements now a better check strategy: it only download summary if the status of a node is uncertain. If the node is not required, outputs won’t even be downloaded. In some cases, it won’t even bother to check the task if not required at all. This really improves I/O and overall build performance 🎉

Want to give it a try ?

Terrabuild really shines with a shared cache. If you want to give it a try, reach us at beta@magnusopera.io and we’ll get you a test account as well instructions to use Terrabuild in CI context. Shared caching is free while Terrabuild is in testing phase.

First alpha!

contact@magnusopera.io (Magnus Opera) — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Terrabuild is mostly feature-complete! What a journey ! Private testing phase can start !

Stable, consistent and cache-backed builds 🎉
Documentation is up to date for the test scope 📚
Syntax is considered frozen ⛄️

Terrabuild - as a tool - is free to use and will always be. Goal is to accelerate your local workflow and help you easily start managing all your apps in a monorepo.

ℹ️

Server side api is implemented (neither documented nor published) - this will be made available in second time after alpha testing phase and will allow additional statistics and visibility across development activities.

For shared caching, a key is required (this is going to be a paid plan also with additional features). If you’d like to participate in shared cache private testing, please send us an email at beta@magnusopera.io. We will provide you a key to test this feature as well instructions to use Terrabuild in local/CI context once available for beta-testing. Shared caching will be free while Terrabuild is in testing phase.
