Description

I guess that parallel execution of build jobs is also supported by your software.
These jobs will be run by a local build environment so far. It can happen that the computing resources can become too limited for a challenging data processing application there.

I suggest to extend corresponding resources with capabilities from distributed systems. Some programming interfaces are available for such a purpose.
How do you think about to make it possible to choose from various job submission systems by configuration variables?

Research direction

Start by clarifying which job submission systems and configuration variables are intended, since the issue does not identify files, entry points, or a concrete interface. Survey the existing parallel build-job execution and local build environment before defining a bounded scope and success criteria.
