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 metrics. PromQL is powerful, the ecosystem is massive, and it pairs perfectly with Grafana.”
“Docker builds that take 10 minutes in CI complete in 30 seconds on Depot. The speed improvement is dramatic.”
“Battle-tested at every scale. The pull model and service discovery integration are well-designed.”
“If Docker builds are your CI bottleneck, Depot eliminates it. Drop-in replacement with massive time savings.”
“Prometheus + Grafana is the open-source observability stack. Mimir extends it to global scale.”
“Remote build infrastructure will become standard. Local or CI builds on underpowered machines make no sense.”
