Achieving single command Infrastructure deployment using PowerShell DSC.
You may use other tools too: psake, make, cake, fake or any other *ake you are familiar with. I look at them as a tools that make build tasks behind simple commands and help me answer: How did I run that code again?

.NET build tool using Bullseye and SimpleExec
NAnt was quite a popular build tool used by projects of all sizes targeting .NET Framework on Windows. I have written many complex build systems using NAnt in the past. But XML based DSL was quite clunky to use and maintain. Besides, it was always a daunting task to explain to a new dev on the team. With .NET Core/.NET becoming a cross-platform framework, CAKE and FAKE gained a lot of adoption providing a C# and F# based DSL for build tasks accordingly.

How do you specify Debug or Release when calling Invoke-psake?
I use the psake PowerShell module to "build" my PowerShell modules. My psakefile.ps1 contains the logic needed to update the manifest with an incremented version, any new function/cmdlet names, and so on. Then it copies everything from .\src\ to .\output\modulename\version. All I do is call Invoke-psake build or Invoke-psake test, and this works great as-is for "pure powershell modules".

What build tool(s) do people use for their applications?
I've used psake (powershell+make) https://github.com/psake/psake - the main thing that attracted me to this was that it wasn't an XML based system (Nant/MSbuild), and it handled task prerequisites very nicely. While some devs find powershell a bit of a pain to learn, they generally become useful very quickly, and I think it's useful to be able to do some level of powershelling anyway.
