FAKE (F# Make) is a cross-platform build automation system and DSL written in F# for .NET. It lets developers define typed, declarative build targets and dependencies in F# scripts, with modules for MSBuild, NuGet/Paket, testing tools, Azure, CI servers, and more.

Use cases

automate building and deploying .NET applications
write build scripts in F# instead of MSBuild XML
run NUnit or Expecto tests as part of a build pipeline
clean output folders and compile projects with globbing
integrate builds with GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps
package and publish NuGet packages

When to choose

your project is on the .NET ecosystem and you prefer F# scripting
you need a modular, extensible build DSL with target dependencies
you want build scripts with full IDE support like IntelliSense and debugging

When to avoid

your team does not know F# and prefers simpler YAML-based CI configs
you need a general-purpose task runner outside .NET builds
you require a build tool with a very large plugin ecosystem like Gradle
