Docker build service
Depot's remote Docker build service is the fastest way to build your container images. Replace docker build with depot build for up to 40x faster container image builds.
Includes everything you need, from powerful remote builders, native Intel and Arm CPUs, sophisticated distributed caching, advanced build insights, and an integrated container registry.
$ depot build -t depot/app .

Optimized compute
Machines with 16 CPUs, running fast, native processors for Intel and Arm architectures. 32GiB of memory.
Emulation-free builds for AWS Graviton and Apple Silicon.
Sophisticated caching
Fine-grained distributed caching, accessible from CI and your team's local machines.
Builds are perfectly incremental — cache hits even with changed code.
Up to 1 TB of cache storage per project, served from a distributed NVMe cache cluster.
