As a hardware platform evolves to provide more functionality and support more integrations, the underlying codebase and testing / quality assurance space expand into a massive, multi-layered ecosystem. This is exactly the reality at Aerora North America, a provider of premium, white-label Ground Control Stations (GCS) and drone hardware. Aerora&rsquo;s hardware enters the US market by passing rigorous regulatory filters like FCC certification and import/export control, necessitating auditability of all shipped software and hardware. To ensure continuous support of production code on ready-to-fly hardware, Aerora needs a hermetic build system capable of tracking every input source, output source, and discrete version.</p>
