β€œThe most expensive mistake we can make as an engineering-driven company is slowing engineers down. Engineering time is a very valuable resource for us, and knowing that Depot is saving us time is super powerful.”

"I feel like Depot is an embedded team at Jane. I now have experts like Kyle, Jacob, and Chris Goller on Slack Connect, and the SLA is like, I don't know - 35 seconds? Insane.”

β€œThe main thing that brought us to Depot was their GitHub Actions runners. We were hosting our own in AWS ECS. It was really expensive, and every little GitHub glitch resulted in something going wrong on our end.”

I have questions...
We hopefully have answers below. But, if not, you can reach out to us and let us know!
How is Depot different than "thing"?
It's pretty much always universally these three things, no matter which "thing" you're looking at: fastest builds, stellar support to make your builds even faster and life easier, and simple pricing. We give a fuck about performance and speed. It's not an after thought or a secondary focus. It's the entire product. Our goal is to make all builds near instant in the future. We take this dead serious.
Do you round up to the closest minute?
No. This is an annoying pricing trick from GitHub-hosted runners (and others). We track by the second and bill by the minute. For example, a 15-second build is 1-minute on GitHub and other providers, but with Depot GitHub Actions Runners you'd have 4 15-second builds before you're charged for one minute.
Is it hard to get started?
No. You can sign up for a free trial, connect your GitHub organization, and update your runs-on label in your GitHub Actions workflow to start using Depot runners. It's a one-line code change.
What are the concurrency limits?
We don't have any.
Is there any cache limits like GitHub's 10 GB limit?
No. Use as much cache as you'd like. If you're feeling nostalgic, or you want to have tighter cost controls around your cache storage, we offer cache retention policies for GitHub Actions cache.
What are the supported runner types?
We support runners for Linux, macOS, and Windows. You can see our full list of runner labels in our docs.
What tools are available in the runner by default? What are the runner images based on?
We match the image definitions provided by GitHub-hosted to the best of our ability. When a new runner image is available, we aim to have the update deployed across the Depot fleet within a week or two.
Can I deploy into my own AWS account?
Yes. We offer Depot Managed which allows you to deploy the entire data plane of Depot into your own AWS sub-account.
Have a question we've haven't addressed here?
Still not sure? Try it. It's a one-line code change.
Sign up for a Depot account, connect your GitHub organization and update your runs-on label.
