Last updated 2026-09-03

Depot is a software delivery platform that helps development teams build, test, and release software faster. It provides accelerated container builds, managed GitHub Actions runners, CI workflow execution, and shared build caching.

What does Depot do?

Depot removes infrastructure bottlenecks from software delivery. Teams can use it to:

  • Build container images on native Intel and Arm machines with persistent caching
  • Run GitHub Actions jobs on managed runners
  • Run existing GitHub Actions workflows with Depot CI
  • Share build caches across developers, CI jobs, and environments

Each product can be adopted independently, so teams can start with the slowest part of their delivery process.

When should you use Depot?

Depot is useful when build times, CI queue times, or repeated work are slowing down software delivery. It is designed for teams that want faster feedback without maintaining their own build machines or runner fleet.

See the Depot documentation for setup guides and product reference material.
