Earthly builds developer infrastructure for engineering organizations. Its platform converts engineering standards, policies, and internal processes into deterministic guardrails that are enforced across repositories, pull requests, CI/CD pipelines, and AI coding agents. The company's technical work spans build systems, containerized and reproducible builds, policy-as-code, compliance automation, and platform engineering.
Its main product, Earthly Lunar, turns engineering standards, AGENTS.md files, compliance policies, incident-response actions, and internal processes into automated enforcement. It ships with more than 300 built-in guardrails, gives developers immediate feedback, and continuously produces audit and compliance evidence. The product is designed to deliver visibility and enforcement in minutes rather than through a lengthy standardization rollout. Earthly also maintains Earthfiles, an open-source build syntax for reproducible, portable and consistent containerized builds, which remains actively used by developers worldwide.
Earthly's product strategy is research-driven: the company surveyed more than 100 platform-engineering leaders before shifting its primary focus to Lunar. Its open-source roots remain central to the organization, with Earthfiles drawing roughly 12,000 GitHub stars and more than 100 contributors, and the projects are kept available and maintained even after strategic shifts. Reported scale figures include more than one million builds per month and customer build-time improvements ranging from nine times faster to an 85% reduction. The company serves developers worldwide across software development, platform engineering, CI/CD, DevOps, and compliance.
