About the project

BuildKit is a toolkit for building container images and other artifacts from source code. It provides concurrent execution, efficient caching, and support for various frontends, including Dockerfile.

Useful for
  • Build a Docker image with layer caching and parallel step execution
  • Export build cache to a registry or local directory for reuse
  • Run a build without root privileges using rootless buildkitd

1.0 Quiet Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of November 4, 2026, 12:30 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

048August 7, 2026November 4, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • There are not enough fresh counter measurements for today's UTC day. The gain is unknown.
  • GitHub Trending Go today: #12, +2 stars.
  • Recent forks include notable developers: @mvanhorn (5,936 followers).

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 21. +50% versus the preceding 7 days.
