Having come from a background of building and orchestrating containers at scale, we know the pain of slow builds and the pain of orchestrating and maintaining infrastructure to run containers. This is why we are thrilled to announce our strategic integration with [Cycle](https://cycle.io), an infrastructure management and container orchestration platform built to provide a true alternative to Kubernetes. With this integration, we're able to deliver the build performance of Depot directly into your Cycle workflows.

## Connecting your Depot project to Cycle

You can connect your Depot project to Cycle in less than 60 seconds via a [project token](/docs/cli/authentication#project-tokens) that you use to configure the integration in Cycle. To generate a project token, you can click into the project you want to connect to Cycle and then click "Settings":

<video src="/images/cycle-project-settings.mp4" preload="metadata" width="1892" height="1068" className="rounded-lg border border-radix-mauve6" />

Once you're on the settings page, you can generate a new project token by entering a name you would like to use to identify the token and clicking "Create token":

<img alt="Cycle project token" src="/images/cycle-project-token.webp" width="959" height="393" />

With a project token in hand, you can then go into your Cycle account, navigate to "Hub Integrations," choose "Depot" under "Image Builders," and add the project token you just generated. That's it! You're now ready to start building images with Depot in Cycle.

## Get started today!

We're excited about this integration's potential to help teams build and deploy faster. To make it even better, Cycle is offering all Depot organizations $2,000 in credits to get started on their platform. You can claim this credit via `depot-dev` in the Cycle dashboard.

If you want to try Depot to get faster Docker image builds or fully managed GitHub Actions Runners, we have an uncapped [7-day free trial](/start) to help you get started!
