That's precisely what we will do! You'll be able to customize the runner image however you want, and it will be running on very fast NVMe SSDs.

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

Oh, should probably add that to the docs. Anyway, they are 120 GB.

I'm a bit biased as one of the founders of BuildJet, but we solve this exact issue. BuildJet for GitHub Actions, plugs elegantly into GitHub Actions. With 1-line change in your config, you get 2x speed for half of GitHub's price.

Hey founder of BuildJet here, With BuildJet for GitHub Actions, you can get up to 64 vCPU as a GitHub Actions runner. We plug right into your existing setup and have a significantly higher per core performance compared to the native runner.

Incoming shameless plug; if you don’t have to handle the hosting runners, but still to reap the benefits of having proper hardware (close to the metal). Check out BuildJet for GitHub actions[1] - 2x the speed for half the price. Easy to ins

Nice wording with 'per core performance'. We had difficulties properly conveying this point in our product when comparing our CI runners[1] to GitHub Actions CI Runner. I will be using it in our next website update. Tack [1] https

BuildKite lets you run their CI agents on your own hardware. Much like self-hosted runner in GitHub Actions. BuildJet for GitHub Actions is a managed service, where we provide the hardware and manage it for you.

Yeah, you're right, there is a tool called act[1] that lets users test the GitHub Actions CI runs toward their local machine. The implementation looks very similar to GitHub Actions official runner, e.g use the identical provisioning s

Hey, Parallelism can solve a subset of CI performance issues, but in our experience, it tends to increase complexity and not improving performance that much. Regarding security, just like the default GitHub Action runners, BuildJet for GitH

The 4x faster came from our first attempt - writing a complete CI (UI + infrastructure). The performance improvements mainly came from good hardware, a more aggressive cache on dependencies, and a docker layer cache. The 2x improvements is

Hey! I think our thesis of the product is that GitHub Actions is good, but not fast and we fix that. Personally, I've had to wait for CI to finish when wanting to run tests before hot-fixing something on production - a faster CI would

Love xterm.js! We use it to stream logs and as an in-browser terminal for our upcoming CI[1]. It's blazing fast especially with the WebGL renderer turned on. [1] https://buildjet.com
