🚀 Introducing Ultra Runners — Up to 3x faster GitHub Actions jobs

GitHub Actions Benchmark

Mastodon

Mastodon is a free, open-source social network server based on ActivityPub where users can follow friends and discover new ones. On Mastodon, users can publish anything they want: links, pictures, text, video. All Mastodon servers are interoperable as a federated network.

This is a multi-architecture benchmark, it built an Intel (linux/amd64) and Arm (linux/arm64) image.

With depot build, the past 10 runs were

30.6x faster

saving a total of

14h 44m 20s

compared to docker build.

About the benchmark

For every commit to mastodon/mastodon, GitHub Actions runs one workflow job building the project with the docker/build-push-action action and caching enabled and one workflow job building the project with depot build. The time each job takes is recorded and visualized here.
