## Profile

Overview: Depot is a build acceleration platform founded in 2022 and backed by Y Combinator, Felicis, and Pioneer Fund. It offers remote container builds, GitHub Actions runners, a new programmable CI engine (Depot CI), distributed remote caching, a container registry, and agent sandboxes—all designed to dramatically reduce CI build times and infrastructure costs. Depot's container build service replaces the standard docker build command with remote, emulation-free Intel and Arm builders featuring fully managed persistent NVMe-backed caching. Its GitHub Actions runners provide 30% faster CPUs and 10x faster cache at roughly half the cost of GitHub-hosted runners. Depot CI, launched in early 2026, is a performance-first CI engine built for the AI-accelerated software development era. Customers report build time reductions ranging from 2x to 55x and CI cost reductions of 50% or more.
Product summary: Depot is a managed build acceleration platform providing remote Docker container builds, high-performance GitHub Actions runners, a new CI engine (Depot CI), distributed remote caching, a container registry, and agent compute sandboxes. It operates as a transparent layer on top of existing CI workflows, requiring minimal configuration changes while delivering step-change improvements in build speed and cost efficiency.


### Key capabilities

- Remote container builds with emulation-free native Intel and Arm (Graviton4) hardware
- Fully managed persistent NVMe-backed layer caching, shared across the entire team
- GitHub Actions runner replacement with 30% faster CPUs, 10x faster networking, unrestricted concurrency
- Depot CI: programmable CI engine with parallel steps, SSH debugging, built-in caching, and per-second billing
- Distributed remote caching for Bazel, Go, Gradle, Turborepo, sccache, Pants, and Maven
- Multi-platform (linux/amd64, linux/arm64) image builds without QEMU emulation
- Depot Managed: self-hosted data plane deployed inside customer's own AWS account
- Agent sandboxes for AI coding agents (Claude Code and others)
- Container registry (Depot Registry) with integrated build acceleration
- Build API with gRPC, Connect, and HTTP/JSON support for platform-level programmatic builds



### Target users

- Software engineers and DevOps engineers with slow Docker image build pipelines
- Platform and delivery engineering teams managing CI/CD infrastructure costs
- Teams using GitHub Actions seeking faster runners at lower cost
- Engineering organizations building multi-architecture (Intel + Arm) container images
- AI-assisted development teams running high-frequency automated agent build loops
- Platform teams building container image pipelines programmatically on behalf of customers



### Key use cases

- Accelerating slow Docker image builds in CI and local development
- Reducing GitHub Actions costs while increasing runner speed and cache throughput
- Building multi-architecture (Intel + Arm) container images without emulation overhead
- Sharing persistent build cache across distributed engineering teams
- Replacing slow legacy CI pipelines with a performance-first CI engine (Depot CI)
- Providing compute sandboxes for AI coding agents running in automated loops
- Running container builds programmatically via API on behalf of platform customers

Integrations ecosystem: Depot integrates across the full CI/CD and developer tooling ecosystem. CI/CD integrations include GitHub Actions (Depot Actions for setup, build, push with OIDC), CircleCI (Orb), GitLab CI, Google Cloud Build, Travis CI, Bitbucket Pipelines, Buildkite, Jenkins, and AWS CodeBuild. Remote caching integrations cover Bazel, Go, Gradle, Maven, Pants, sccache, Turborepo, and moonrepo. Developer tooling integrations include Docker Compose, Fly.io, and Dev Containers. Infrastructure-as-code integrations include AWS CDK and Trellis. Compute platform support covers AWS (including a Depot Managed bring-your-own-AWS-account option), Intel Xeon, and Arm Graviton4 processors. AWS Marketplace billing is available on the Business plan. A gRPC/HTTP/JSON Build API with SDKs enables programmatic container image building for platform teams.
Pricing summary: Depot offers three tiers. Developer ($20/month): 1 user, 500 Docker build minutes, 2,000 Depot CI minutes, 2,000 GitHub Actions minutes, 25 GB cache storage, community Discord support. Startup ($200/month): unlimited users, 5,000 Docker build minutes, 20,000 Depot CI minutes, 20,000 GitHub Actions minutes, 250 GB cache, email support, RBAC, macOS M2 runners; optional SSO add-on at $500/month. Business (custom pricing): GPU-enabled builds, dedicated AWS infrastructure, static IPs, AWS PrivateLink, SSO/SAML/SCIM, audit logging, Slack Connect, AWS Marketplace billing. Additional usage is billed at $0.00005/second/vCPU for Depot CI, $0.004/minute for GitHub Actions, $0.04/minute for Docker builds, and $0.20/GB/month for cache storage. A 7-day free trial is available with no credit card required.
Review summary: Depot has a 5.0/5 rating on G2 from 3 reviews (limited sample size). Reviews on G2, Product Hunt, and AWS Marketplace consistently highlight dramatic build speed improvements (2x–55x), ease of integration (often a single-line change), exceptional proactive technical support from founders and engineers directly via Slack, and stability of the platform once configured. Negative feedback is rare and minor, mostly referencing early-stage edge cases (e.g., submodule build failures) that were resolved by the team. Social proof on the product website from engineers at PostHog, JaneApp, Bastion, Formbricks, Better Stack, and others reinforces the speed and cost-savings narrative.
Competitive positioning: Depot positions itself as a build acceleration layer that sits on top of or alongside existing CI providers rather than a full CI replacement (though its new Depot CI product now challenges that framing). Its core differentiation is raw speed and cost reduction: managed remote BuildKit for Docker images (up to 40x faster), high-performance GitHub Actions runners at half the cost of GitHub-hosted runners, and distributed remote caching—all with minimal setup. Unlike GitHub Actions, CircleCI, or Buildkite, Depot's founding thesis is that build infrastructure is a dedicated performance problem, not a workflow orchestration problem. Its per-second billing, emulation-free native Intel and Arm builders, fully managed persistent NVMe-backed cache, and Depot CI (a new programmable CI engine built performance-first for the AI-assisted coding era) collectively make it the only vendor in the vertical whose entire product surface area is organized around eliminating compute bottlenecks.
Limitations: Depot CI is a newly launched product (2026) and GitHub Actions workflow compatibility is its primary supported syntax, with GitLab CI compatibility noted in the docs but the engine is early-stage. The GitHub Actions runner product is GitHub-specific and does not replace runners for GitLab CI or Bitbucket. Custom regions, dedicated infrastructure, GPU builds, AWS PrivateLink, SSO/SAML/SCIM, audit logging, and bring-your-own-AWS-account deployment are restricted to the Business (custom-priced) plan. macOS M2 runners are only available on the Startup plan and above. The Developer plan is limited to a single user. At the time of research, G2 has only 3 published reviews, indicating limited third-party review coverage. One G2 reviewer noted early-stage issues with builds failing when git submodules changed, though this was reportedly resolved by the Depot team.
