Abstract
In one embodiment, a build orchestration framework orchestrates building of one or more individual buildable components of a deliverable software product. At least some buildable components reference respective sub components on which they depend. Building creates a structure associated with each respective buildable component of the one or more buildable components. In this structure, if the respective buildable component references a sub component on which the respective buildable component depends, a symbolic link is created to an output of a build of the sub component to provide access to the output of the sub component for use in building the respective buildable component. Further, in this structure, if the respective buildable component is used by another buildable component, a symbolic link is created to an output of a build of the respective buildable component.
