Depot.dev

Cloud-based build acceleration service for CI/CD pipelines. Provides remote container builders with automatic layer caching, hosted GitHub Actions runners, and a programmable CI engine that supports GitHub Actions and GitLab CI syntax. Drop-in replacement for local Docker builds: swap docker build for depot build to get faster, incremental builds across Intel and Arm.

Trusted by teams such as PostHog, Astral, and Formbricks. Benchmarks on real repositories show substantial speedups. Stands out with per-second billing, parallel job execution, built-in caching, SSH debugging, and a gRPC/Connect API for programmatic image builds. Works with any CI provider and shares cache across the team, including local development.

Key capabilities:

• Remote Docker builds with native Intel and Arm support and aggressive layer caching
• Depot CI engine with GitHub Actions and GitLab CI syntax, parallel steps, and snapshotting
• Hosted GitHub Actions runners in AWS with faster CPUs and networking
• Distributed remote cache for Bazel, Go, Gradle, Turborepo, sccache, and Pants
• Build API for platforms to build images on behalf of customers in isolated environments

Engineers use Depot to cut CI wait times from minutes to seconds, speed up cross-platform image builds without qemu emulation, and reduce GitHub Actions costs. Integrates with existing workflows via GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and the Depot CLI. Agent sandboxes are available for running AI coding tools in isolated build environments.
