Build system for securely building and deploying a target build artifact

A build system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors configured to perform processing, the processing comprising:
• receiving a list of inputs for performing a build;
• identifying, based at least in part on the list of inputs, at least one additional input for performing the build;
• transmitting a request to establish connection to a network endpoint associated with the additional input;
• determining that the connection to the network endpoint associated with the additional input is successful;
• responsive to determining that the connection to the network endpoint associated with the additional input is successful, determining that the additional input can be trusted;
• responsive to determining that the additional input can be trusted, adding the additional input to the list of inputs for performing the build;
• and
• using the additional input to perform the build.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by a computer system that, when executed by one or more processors of the computer system, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a list of inputs for performing a build;
• identifying, based at least in part on the list of inputs, at least one additional input for performing the build;
• transmitting a request to establish connection to a network endpoint associated with the additional input;
• determining that the connection to the network endpoint associated with the additional input is successful;
• responsive to determining that the connection to the network endpoint associated with the additional input is successful, determining that the additional input can be trusted;
• responsive to determining that the additional input can be trusted, adding the additional input to the list of inputs for performing the build;
• and
• using the additional input to perform the build.
