Building and releasing a complete nextjs app in 1m3s
(with help from @depotdev - insane 16s build and push thanks to caching)

ok @depotdev is awesome! got my build & push from 30 mins to 4 and it will be about 12 seconds when cached *chef kiss*

Just want to give a public shoutout to @depotdev. Since migrating from the default GitHub actions runner, our Docker image build times have literally been cut in half.
Super impressive. So worth it. We are very happy customers. 😀

qemu emulations & buildkit made our arm builds really slow! tried out @depotdev and saw instant 10x faster builds at @formbricks 🚀

we've found @depotdev to be incredible for reducing our own build times by >10x, from 8 min to 20s in one case

I build 3 react apps, and 7 Golang binaries + golang tests on every single commit -- all in about 30 seconds total thanks to some very precise docker context management, docker run cache mounts, and the incredible caches provided by @depotdev. All in a single `depot bake` command

I am blown away by @depotdev, it's making the bref runtimes pipeline finally usable
"docker build" becomes "depot build" in GitHub Actions and:
- fast cross-platform builds (e.g. ARM)
- everything is cached aggressively
10 to 20 times faster builds!

"How do these competitors of ours move so fast?! They fix bugs in hours instead of days, they develop new features in days instead of weeks, and their sales cycle is weeks instead of months!?!"
Pro-tip: build a developer experience team that tries out new tools like @depotdev 😉

Just switched all of my multi-platform container builds over to using depot.dev. No cache github aciton build was 30m+. Cached was ~8m. Initial depot build (no cache): 3m. Amazing.

Building a container on my laptop: 19m40s, slow, makes me want to cry.
Building it on @depotdev: 4m42s, speedy, makes me smile. But doesn't heat up my room enough, so I have to wear a jumper.

Depot has been fantastic for us! We managed to get our build times down from ~8.5 minutes to ~30 seconds using the caching and cross-platform builds out of the box 😀

We switched to @depotdev for building our docker images at @rwx_research. Our build times are twice as fast and integration was impressively easy with their support for GitHub's OIDC token. It's easy to spot when we switched in our CI analytics.

Amazing work. Depot really is a game changer.
Your builds have never been this quick.
