Now Available: Depot CI

10 hours ago

Depot has been optimizing build speeds for over three years, starting with container image builds and expanding to CI acceleration via GitHub Actions runners.
Despite optimizations, 70% of the CI system's performance was outside Depot's control, leading to the development of their own programmable CI service.
Traditional CI systems are outdated, designed for a slower era of software development, and now bottlenecked by the rapid code integration demands of AI-assisted development.
Depot CI offers GitHub Actions compatibility, faster CI startup times, custom runner images, and a complete feedback loop for agents, enhancing the CI/CD pipeline.
Features include debugging and monitoring tools, programmatic API access, and a pricing model at $0.0001/second with no additional fees.
Depot CI is built on Switchyard, a system with an orchestrator and compute subsystem for task execution, enabling performance and reliability across various use cases.
Switchyard allows for custom frontends and supports sandbox APIs, workflow execution engines, and other programmable interfaces.
Depot CI represents a shift towards full control over the CI stack, aiming to maintain development momentum from code authoring to production.
