Depot provides remote Docker builds that are 5-20x faster than CI runners. Persistent caching, native multi-platform builds, and zero configuration.
Reviewer scorecard
“GPU-optimized containers for every AI framework. TensorRT for inference optimization is essential for production.”
“Docker builds that take 10 minutes in CI complete in 30 seconds on Depot. The speed improvement is dramatic.”
“If you're deploying AI on NVIDIA GPUs, NGC containers and TensorRT are non-optional for performance.”
“If Docker builds are your CI bottleneck, Depot eliminates it. Drop-in replacement with massive time savings.”
“NVIDIA's software ecosystem (CUDA, TensorRT, Triton) is as important as their hardware. NGC is the distribution layer.”
“Remote build infrastructure will become standard. Local or CI builds on underpowered machines make no sense.”
