It's been a little quieter this past month, but big things are coming over the horizon. Let's dig into what we have been working on over the past month and are building to in the near future.

Reducing the overall image size is key to building and launching Docker images as quickly as possible. The smaller the image size, the less network bandwidth we have to consume to build and launch it.

Depot is coming out of beta! Here is what we built in June and what we're working on next.

One of the keys to building a Docker image quickly is making use of the layer cache as frequently as possible. More cache hits means faster build times. Here we dive into how to make use of the layer cache in GitHub Actions.

You can now authenticate to Depot with a project-specific API token, for fine-grained access control over your Docker builds.

Here is everything that is new with Depot after our first month of learning and iterating with all of our great collaborators during closed beta.

Writing a Dockerfile that builds quickly involves understanding the Docker layer cache and working with it to maximize the number of cache hits between builds.

The state of building Arm and multi-architecture containers today is filled with tradeoffs and complexities. In this post, we explore the current options, including how Depot addresses these challenges.

Depot is a new container build service with blazing fast compute and persistent caching, for both Intel and Arm containers.
