This is an interesting read and take. I don't think it's applicable to everything because not everything fits neatly into "if I explain it, you will buy". This also cripples any kind of outbound motion, which for some bu

Yeah, this is definitely lacking on our pricing page; thank you for flagging it. We charge $0.08/minute for macOS runners [0] which has 8 CPUs, 24 GB of memory, and 150 GB of disk. They run with M2 chips, so the closest GitHub-hosted m

This is exciting to see as arm64 is really a growing space, as we've seen since first launching our Docker image build acceleration [0]. Free for public repos is definitely a strong pull if you can live with some of the quirks. Even wi

One of the founders of Depot here. Always feel free to ping me directly (email in my bio) if you ever want to chat more about container builds in general.

This is the type of project I still absolutely love reading about on HN. It feels like we use to see these types of things much more frequently than we do now. But I’m sure that is just my own browsing habits changing.

I got excited until I saw the one zone part. That is a critical difference in terms of cost.

This was a great read. As an American who is currently living in France, I'm always blown away by how easy it is for me to get just about anywhere via train.

Other founder of Depot here. AWS is pretty close to this idea with their Warm Pools [0]. But for our use case, they're just too slow to react to changes. We observed 60s+ to notice a change and actually start the machine. That doesn&#x

It's very strange how these types of nice UX things seem to be lacking in big modern apps nowadays. I think we all know why, they aren't revenue drivers. But, surely this wouldn't be that hard for Spotify to do themselves. Sh

This is what HN is all about. This probably isn't your next big LLM project but its a wonderfully simple example that shows what is happening underneath the hood. Do you plan on writing up something like a blog post to go with it?

Just curious if you thought of other build systems outside of Bazel and if so which ones & why?

Depot Build API: build Docker images as a service(depot.dev)

Yup! We observed the same thing back before we built Depot. The act of saving/loading cache over a GHA network pretty much negated any performance gain from layer caching. So, we created a solution to persist cache to NVMe disks and or

by kylegalbraith 3y ago
Couldn't agree more. Somewhere, we lost the concept of disks in CI unless you run it yourself, and a lot of build tools could benefit from having them. We came to the same conclusion and built Depot around this exact workflow for the D

by kylegalbraith 3y ago
This is definitely a direction to try. But if its faster Docker image builds and a layer caching system that actually works, you should definitely try out Depot. We automatically persist layer cache to persistent NVMe devices and orchestrat

Thanks for the shout-out regarding Depot, really appreciate it. We came to the same conclusion regarding Docker layer cache and thus why we created Depot in the first place. The limitations and performance surrounding GitHub Actions cache l

by kylegalbraith 3y ago
Other Depot founder here. This is a really great point. You've hit on all the main points regarding Docker image cache in GHA. Persisting the massive layer cache over networks is incredibly slow and has weird limits (like 10GB per repo

Do you not offer Arm images for the various services? For folks wanting to run this stack, I'd imagine some of them are interested in running on Arm for better cost optimization. Maybe it doesn't matter for how lightweight the ser

This is super cool and was very easy to get going. Missing keyboard shortcuts is pretty annoying and would make this even simpler. I hopped in hoping it was like a Google Drawing, which it's pretty close, but the lack of keyboard short

It's always a lot of fun to see stuff like this on HN. It's a reminder that there are still a lot of fun and amusing things on the internet. I also love seeing stupid simple HTML sites like this. It's hideous to look at but i

Dagger is quite cool, and we've been doing some collaboration with their new Zenith stuff. We actually have a module where you can route an image build in your Dagger pipeline to Depot and do interesting things with the result as we st

This is one of the things that led us to write this post! It's almost all undocumented, as you're mentioning, and there are quite a lot of complexities underneath the surface that often feel very inefficient as well. We're wo
