Reviewer scorecard
“Best documentation in cloud computing. Tutorials alone make it worth recommending. Simple, predictable pricing.”
“Docker builds that take 10 minutes in CI complete in 30 seconds on Depot. The speed improvement is dramatic.”
“Not for enterprise scale but for startups and indie projects, the simplicity and pricing are unbeatable.”
“If Docker builds are your CI bottleneck, Depot eliminates it. Drop-in replacement with massive time savings.”
“Squeezed between hyper-scalers above and serverless platforms below. The mid-market IaaS space is shrinking.”
“Remote build infrastructure will become standard. Local or CI builds on underpowered machines make no sense.”
