Reviewer scorecard
“The serverless standard. Event sources, layers, and container image support cover every use case.”
“Docker builds that take 10 minutes in CI complete in 30 seconds on Depot. The speed improvement is dramatic.”
“Cold starts have improved dramatically. For event-driven workloads, Lambda's pricing model is unbeatable.”
“If Docker builds are your CI bottleneck, Depot eliminates it. Drop-in replacement with massive time savings.”
“Serverless is the default compute model. Lambda's ecosystem and AWS integration ensure its dominance.”
“Remote build infrastructure will become standard. Local or CI builds on underpowered machines make no sense.”
