zstd is up to 60% faster at decompression vs gzip. Check out our breakdown and comparison of building Docker images with zstd vs gzip. https://lnkd.in/dChJ2SNB

Only a few open seats left! Co-Founder of Depot Kyle Galbraith is joining Cloudflare's Boris Tane at AWS reInvent this Wednesday. Join us to discuss observability in serverless applications.

We're building Mastodon on GHA with Docker, and Depot. In the past 10 runs Depot was 30.6x faster. https://lnkd.in/dMn9D4E5

Building multi-arch images can be slow with emulation. See native BuildKit instances in action. https://lnkd.in/dJcgt2VJ

We spoke with the creator of Yoke, who is creating a new kind of Kubernetes package manager with real code, not YAML.

Still using default GitHub Actions runners? Save over 50% and run 60% faster with Depot. See for yourself with a matrix strategy. https://lnkd.in/gmxMtdQ8

GitHub Actions — How do you optimize their performance? GitHub Actions is a fantastic CI/CD tool and one of the most used. It's simple, intuitive, and works well to automate almost any workflow. But if you're using GitHub's default runners, you're workflows are running much slower than they could be, with a simple change. The simple switch to using self-hosted runners enables you to use tools dedicated to optimizing your GitHub Actions workflows. Depot is a GitHub Actions runner that I've been very impressed with. — Their ultra runners execute deployment scripts up to 3x faster than GitHub's default runners — Up to 40x faster Docker builds — Up to 10x faster cache — Only half the price of GitHub's price Faster builds, half the cost. Not to mention a better developer experience and more time for better uses than waiting for builds to finish. Depot is very easy to use as well. Integrating Depot as the runner takes only a few minutes. Connect your GitHub account, use the Depot label, and done! Check it out: https://lnkd.in/gRfZPHYs Depot is free to try.

Emulation isn't free. QEMU powered builds can be up to 40x slower than native builds. Depot uses multiple remote Buildkit instances and routes builds to the appropriate platform.

Have you checked to see if your GitHub actions jobs are being bottlenecked by slow I/O operations? On a standard default GHA runner, the @nextjs repo maxes out I/O throughput when restoring cache. https://lnkd.in/dyfaDP9b

eStargz: A container image format with instant startup. Built on ".tar.gz", it adds seekability via an index, letting you pull specific files from any layer without downloading the entire image or layer first. https://lnkd.in/dG3PqRXi
