I was surprised to learn that Depot runners, which are much faster, are also much cheaper. Would highly recommend them for anyone trapped on GitHub.

Blacksmith.sh has been great for us. Massively sped up tests and a huge improvement for Docker builds over both Actions and Google Cloud Build.

Only downside is they never got back to us about their startup discount.

Yeah, but I have to set that up.

GitHub actions more or less just work for what most people need. If you have a complex setup, use a real CI/CD system.

I haven’t use depot but I’m pretty sure the setup is literally just switching out the runs-on value in your workflows
