Unpopular opinion: CI/CD engines are an awful idea
This is why 90-99% of our builds are done with Cake. It isolates all of it and you can run the build locally if you want.

Cake : A C23 to C99 transpiler
I don't think it will get too much confusion, but there is a build system called Cake: https://cakebuild.net/

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.

Nuke Build - best build automation system
Cake (C# Make) - simple, easy to set up, and with a lot of extensions scripting with C#.

Creating reusable build scripts with NUKE components
For those not familiar with it, Cake is a build automation system with a C#-based DSL. It is based on the concept of tasks, which are small units of work, like restoring packages, building, or testing, which can have dependencies on, or trigger, other tasks.

A super simple make wrapper for docker/podman that runs all your targets in a container - just a utility I put together to make my life slightly easier, nothing fancy
Just a note: there's already a very active community of the same name for the build utility Cake.

A stupid simple make wrapper that makes my life easier
Looks interesting! Although the name clashes with Cake (C# Make) project which could be confusing - https://cakebuild.net/

Introducing Cake ClickOnce Recipe - An opinionated recipe for building and publishing .NET 5 Windows apps
The recipe utilizes the Cake build automation .NET Tool in the background, but essentially the recipe exposes a C# class with a few properties you can control the recipe behavior, but the intention is that you should just set what's needed for your application and rest boring boiler plate is handled for you, and the recipe will automatically detect if it's running on GitHub actions and provided right secrets in place publish to Azure blob storage.

Achieving single command Infrastructure deployment using PowerShell DSC.
So I need to take a step back and Start-DscConfiguration won't be my entry point to deployment. I need a .ps1 script that installs modules. Or, bear with me, I'll be using a PowerShell build tool: Invoke-Build.

Module workflow in VS Code?
I discovered the Invoke-Build build system, PSScriptAnalyzer for linting, and Pester for testing/mocking. I wrote a GitLab CI/CD pipeline that takes advantage of all of this to push releases to our company's PSRepo. I also discovered the Plaster template system for scaffolding new projects, and created a custom company template for standardizing our repo structures.
What are some alternatives?

NUKE - 🏗 The AKEless Build System for C#/.NET
