Reviewer scorecard
“The lingua franca of infrastructure as code. Provider ecosystem covers every cloud service imaginable.”
“Docker builds that take 10 minutes in CI complete in 30 seconds on Depot. The speed improvement is dramatic.”
“BSL license change was controversial but the tool remains essential. OpenTofu is the hedge if needed.”
“If Docker builds are your CI bottleneck, Depot eliminates it. Drop-in replacement with massive time savings.”
“Infrastructure as code is table stakes. Terraform's provider ecosystem is its moat and it keeps growing.”
“Remote build infrastructure will become standard. Local or CI builds on underpowered machines make no sense.”
