Depot provides remote Docker builds that are 5-20x faster than CI runners. Persistent caching, native multi-platform builds, and zero configuration.
Reviewer scorecard
“The standard for production container orchestration. Managed K8s (EKS, GKE, AKS) removes most operational burden.”
“Docker builds that take 10 minutes in CI complete in 30 seconds on Depot. The speed improvement is dramatic.”
“Massively over-engineered for 90% of workloads. Most teams would be better served by simpler deployment platforms.”
“If Docker builds are your CI bottleneck, Depot eliminates it. Drop-in replacement with massive time savings.”
“The API model Kubernetes established is becoming the universal infrastructure abstraction layer.”
“Remote build infrastructure will become standard. Local or CI builds on underpowered machines make no sense.”
