We recently started using buildjet, and it has been nothing short of awesome. So I can highly recommend them.

Quick question, why does every startup on earth have google as a customer? Shouldn't a company of this size have its own solutions and programs? This is in no way a deg against your project, its just a general question .

  I imagine non-core-product teams at Google are encouraged to submit purchase requests for any tools they think would improve their processes instead of being constrained to existing solutions. They also could just be showing it because someone with an @google.com has a paid account, but I don't know for sure :)

    I would think that it also brings the advantage of having tried the actual product in their own ecosystem, Google have a good overall insight into it in case they want to buy it - not sure if this is actually the case though.

  Yeah, it's kind of a trope by now. However, we felt it was justified when Google Lighthouse wanted to use BuildJet.

Oh this is good. I couldn't find it in your documentation but how big are the disks on these VMs?
- thinkafterbef 4y ago
  Oh, should probably add that to the docs. Anyway, they are 120 GB.
  - stusmall 4y ago
    Absolutely. That's a huge jump over GitHub's tiny 14GB

Great market fit, runners are the worst part of GitHub Actions so I'm really glad to see a product enter this space as a drop-in replacement. Will definitely check this out for my pipelines.
