jcran · x · 2026-09-14
Depot published "GitHub Actions without GitHub," a technical article on running GitHub Actions-compatible workloads outside GitHub. The company, obsessed with shaving seconds off customer CI builds, walks through why and how they decouple the runner/pipeline layer from GitHub's hosted environment to get faster builds and more control over caching and hardware.
The piece reflects Depot's broader build-optimization practice and is aimed at teams whose slow CI iteration loops are a bottleneck.
