Welcome to Depot!
Depot is a build acceleration platform focused on making builds exponentially faster. You can use Depot to make everything run faster, from your Docker image build to your E2E test suite in GitHub Actions.
Depot is a build acceleration platform that makes your entire development workflow exponentially faster. Whether you're building Docker images, running CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions, executing test suites in Go, or developing locally, Depot accelerates every part of your development process — from individual builds that finish in seconds to complete deployment workflows that run 10x faster.
Slow development workflows drain productivity and happiness. Waiting for builds, tests, and deployments forces constant context switching, slows down feedback loops, and ultimately burns through engineering time and resources that should be spent building great products.
We are developers ourselves, and we've experienced the frustration of waiting minutes or hours for builds to complete, watching CI pipelines crawl through test suites, and dealing with the complexity of setting up efficient caching across different tools. Modern development tools and CI providers simply don't prioritize performance at the level teams need. So, we built the build acceleration platform we've always wanted — one that makes everything exponentially faster with as little work as possible.
Depot is built for any team that wants to move faster and waste less time waiting. Whether you're a DevOps Engineer optimizing CI/CD pipelines, a Platform Engineer building developer tools, a Developer who wants faster local builds, an Engineering Manager looking to improve team velocity, or any other role focused on shipping software efficiently — Depot can accelerate your workflows and give you back hours of productive time every week.
We have five integrated products that work together or independently to make your development workflows exponentially faster.
Our remote container builds run an optimized version of BuildKit that can make your Docker image builds up to 40x faster. We support native multi-platform builds for both Intel & Arm without emulation, provide persistent shared cache that's instantly available across your team, and free up your local machine's resources by running builds on powerful remote infrastructure.

Depot Registry is a high-performance, globally-distributed container registry with CDN-backed image delivery. Built for speed and reliability, it ensures your container images are available instantly anywhere your applications deploy, reducing pull times and improving deployment speed. Our container registry integrates seamlessly with our remote container builds, so you can push and pull images without any additional configuration.

Depot-managed GitHub Actions Runners bring our acceleration tech and expertise to your entire CI/CD workflow with up to 3x faster runners with 30% faster CPUs, 10x faster networking and caching, and unrestricted concurrency at half the cost of GitHub-hosted runners (with true per second billing). Our runners integrate seamlessly with our cache orchestration system, so you get dramatically faster caching without changing your existing workflows.

Depot Cache provides high-performance remote caching for development tools including Bazel, Go, Gradle, Turborepo, sccache, and Pants. Share build artifacts and test results across your entire team and CI environment, making builds incremental and achieving 2x to 20x speed improvements. The cache is instantly accessible from local development, any CI provider, and integrates automatically with our GitHub Actions runners.
If you need to build container images programmatically or from untrusted sources, our Build API provides access to our entire container build infrastructure through gRPC, Connect, and HTTP/JSON APIs. Build images on behalf of your users in a secure, isolated environment using our CLI tools or integrate directly with our SDKs.

Teams using Depot see dramatic improvements across their entire development workflow. Here are some examples of how Depot has transformed engineering teams:
Whether you're building a single application or managing infrastructure for hundreds of projects, Depot scales with your needs while maintaining the performance that keeps developers in flow state rather than waiting for builds to complete.
We provide llms.txt for quick navigation and llms-all.txt for complete documentation access, both formatted in Markdown to help AI assistants better understand Depot's capabilities.
