We're excited to release new cache retention policies for your GitHub Actions and Depot cache. You can now set time and size limits for your cache entries to have better control over your cache storage costs.

Depot joined Cloudflare at AWS re:Invent 2024 to discuss the challenges of observing serverless applications and how high-cardinality metrics + Baselime can help.

What is a "tar" (tape archive) file? A deep dive into the history and inner workings of the tar file format to create better optimized archives.

Optimizing containers to boot ultra-fast by lazily loading files with eStargz. Start your containers up to 76% faster.

Docker images are downloaded as compressed layers and default to gzip compression. But is there a better option? We compare gzip and zstd compression methods to see which is best for building and pushing images.

When your CI pipelines are slow, you can only optimize so much. Bottlenecks in CPU, Network, Memory, and Disk I/O can all contribute to slow CI pipelines. Let's take a look at how disk I/O can be a bottleneck in GitHub Actions.

We love GitHub Actions, but the default runners are slow and expensive. We benchmarked the performance of GitHub Actions runners against Depot runners and found that Depot runners are 2x faster and half the cost.

Using Fly.io's new Depot builder, we'll walk you through how to deploy a TypeScript service globally with speed.

To learn what a Docker layer really is, we'll dissect a Docker image and take a look inside. Deep dive into the layers of a Docker image and understand how they work.
