About Depot
Depot is a hosted service for container image builds, CI runners, build caches and a container registry. It is aimed at teams that run many builds and want them to finish sooner.
What it does
Depot runs your Docker image builds on hosted machines and keeps a shared, persistent build cache between runs. It also provides managed runners for GitHub Actions and a programmable CI engine. A container registry and a Git-based source control product sit in the same platform, and all of it runs on the vendor's own infrastructure.
Key features
- Hosted container image builds
- Persistent build cache shared between runs
- Managed GitHub Actions runners
- Container registry for stored images
- Programmable CI engine
Who it's for
Engineering teams with slow Docker builds or long CI runs, especially teams that already use GitHub Actions or need images for several hardware platforms.
Pricing and good to know
The website offers a free start for building, and its pricing page lists the plans and limits. Because every product runs on Depot's own compute, your builds and cached data are processed on that infrastructure. Review the security and governance pages before you move sensitive projects over.
