About Depot

Depot accelerates Docker image builds and GitHub Actions workflows for engineering teams. It combines remote container builds, GitHub Actions runners, and distributed caching to cut build times and costs across projects and integrations.

Key Features

Depot combines remote container builds, fast GitHub Actions runners, and distributed caching to accelerate CI workflows and scale across teams:

Remote container builds

Replace docker build with depot build. Native support for Intel and Arm images. Automatic layer caching. Use with your existing CI provider and dev workflows.

GitHub Actions runners

Hosted in AWS, with 30% faster CPUs, 10x faster networking and cache throughput, unrestricted concurrency, at half the cost of GitHub-hosted runners.

Depot Cache

Make all builds incremental with distributed remote caching for Bazel, Go, Gradle, Turborepo, sccache, and Pants. Integrate with any CI provider and share cache with your entire team, even in local development.

Build API for Platforms

Programatically build container images on behalf of your customers in a secure, isolated environment. gRPC, Connect, and HTTP/JSON support, with a variety of language SDKs and integrations.

Summary

Best for engineering teams dealing with multi-repo CI pipelines, platform teams building internal tooling, and startups looking to reduce build wait times.
