Reproducible Postgres
summary
Reproducible Postgres builds an Apache‑licensed upstream distribution that guarantees bit-by-bit reproducibility by using hermetic sandboxed builds with Bazel + sandboxing and Starlark-driven build rules. A single monorepo contains Postgres versions, extensions and repo.json digests to verify sources, and an automated monobot crawler generates targets so the system scales to the projected 1M+ build variants (five major versions, many minors, multiple option sets, AMD64/ARM64). Outputs include content-addressable artifacts, deb/rpm/OCI packaging and remote buildfarm execution.
