Benchmarking
depot build
vs docker build
on GitHub Actions:Optimized Build Compute
Our build machines provide fast compute, with higher specs than common CI providers, plus an automatically integrated persistent build cache. Code that was built before can simply be reused.

In Our Cloud or Yours
Choose between using Depot-hosted build machines, or bring your own by connecting your AWS account. Your builds and data remain entirely within your own cloud account.
The
depot
CLI communicates directly with builders over mTLS, without passing through any Depot infrastructure, for total privacy and security.Speed Up CI
Reduce build time with Depot's direct integration with existing CI providers. Eliminate the expensive loading and saving of large cache tarballs.
Depot's builders launch in seconds with fast SSD cache, allowing CI to instantly reuse previous work.
Drop-in Replacement
Replace
docker build
with depot build
and get fast, intelligent remote builds that just work with existing tooling.Break free from local resource constraints and offload heavy build computation to our remote builder fleet. Reuse existing builds from coworkers or CI with Depot's distributed cache.

"How do these competitors of ours move so fast?! They fix bugs in hours instead of days, they develop new features in days instead of weeks, and their sales cycle is weeks instead of months!?!"
Pro-tip: build a developer experience team that tries out new tools like @depotdev 😉

Latest hack in engineering productivity - using @depotdev for building our @BetterStackHQ docker images! Less time waiting for a build to finish means more time delivering features.

We switched to @depotdev for building our docker images at @rwx_research. Our build times are twice as fast and integration was impressively easy with their support for GitHub's OIDC token. It's easy to spot when we switched in our CI analytics.

Building a container on my laptop: 19m40s, slow, makes me want to cry.
Building it on @depotdev: 4m42s, speedy, makes me smile. But doesn't heat up my room enough, so I have to wear a jumper.

Pushed a new build of my @CrystalLanguage container image (hydrofoil-crystal) with native arm64 support! 🥳 🚀
Thanks to @depotdev for making it easier (and faster!) to build ARM container images! 😊
