1. A computer-implemented method when executed by data processing hardware causes the data processing hardware to perform operations comprising:

receiving, from a user device associated with a user, a build request comprising build step instructions specifying a series of build steps for building an output container, the series of build steps comprising:

at least two parallel build steps that execute in parallel; and

at least one dependent build step comprising a dependency constraint specifying a prior build step from the series of build steps that must complete execution before commencing execution of the at least one dependent build step;

executing the series of build steps to generate build results; and

building the output container for the user device based on the build results.
