Nix also supports using any SSH server with Nix installed as a remote builder[0]. Performance gains aside, it's also very useful for building for other platforms where you don't have a cross-toolchain set up. For example, I've had some colleagues use nix-docker to build packages for Linux from their Macs, even if the packages weren't cross-aware[1].
