Depot provides remote Docker builds that are 5-20x faster than CI runners. Persistent caching, native multi-platform builds, and zero configuration.
Reviewer scorecard
“Automatic HTTPS and the Caddyfile syntax make web server config trivial. Reverse proxy setup is one line.”
“Docker builds that take 10 minutes in CI complete in 30 seconds on Depot. The speed improvement is dramatic.”
“Automatic HTTPS alone justifies switching from Nginx. The Caddyfile is infinitely more readable than nginx.conf.”
“If Docker builds are your CI bottleneck, Depot eliminates it. Drop-in replacement with massive time savings.”
“Caddy proves that web servers can be simple. Automatic HTTPS should have always been the default.”
“Remote build infrastructure will become standard. Local or CI builds on underpowered machines make no sense.”
