Hey HN, I’m Surya and I’m excited to show you WarpBuild! WarpBuild provides fast, secure `x86-64` and `arm64` Github actions runners. This speeds up your workloads by 30%, at half the cost, and takes ~2mins to get started. We’ve been seeing pretty good results since we opened up signups a week ago and I’ve shared some numbers publicly here [1]. Currently, we support linux runners for Github organizations (not personal accounts) and MacOS support is coming soon (~Jan). The way the runners work is deceptively simple: Runners are assigned to hardware that is ideal for build workloads with fast…

Hey HN! I'm Jacob, one of the founders of Depot (https://depot.dev), a build service for Docker images, and I'm excited to show what we’ve been working on for the past few months: run GitHub Actions jobs in AWS, orchestrated by Depot! Here's a video demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VX5Z-k1mGc8, and here’s our blog post: https://depot.dev/blog/depot-github-actions-runners. While GitHub Actions is one of the most prevalent CI providers, Actions is slow, for a few reasons: GitHub uses underpowered CPUs, network throughput for cache and the…

Hey HN, I’m Surya and I’m super excited to show you WarpBuild’s new MacOS runners for Github Actions! The MacOS runners are powered by M2 Pros with 6vcpu and 14GB memory. On paper, this is comparable to the M1 powered macos-latest-xlarge runners by Github but are 25% faster and 50% cheaper, with the same tools pre-installed. This is useful for 4 reasons: because Github runners are super slow and pricey and even more so on mac, managing mac infra is a hassle, concurrent CI runs on macs can get very expensive, and pre-installed tooling speeds up workflows. We have teams running iOS builds on…

I've created a GitHub Action for running commands on multiple platforms. This includes platforms that GitHub Actions don't natively support. It currently supports FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD. OpenBSD can run on x86-64 and ARM64, the other operating systems run on x86-64. Some of the features that are supported include: * Multiple operating system with one single action * Multiple versions of each operating system * Allows to use default shell or Bash shell * Low boot overhead * Fast execution * Runs on both macOS and Linux runners Compared to similar solutions like…

I'm continuing to improve my RunsOn tool for launching self-hosted runners for GitHub Action on AWS, this time with support for any GPU-enabled instance type from EC2, and using the official Deep Learning AMIs as the runner image. Much cheaper than the official GitHub Actions runners, and accessible on any GitHub plan.

Hey HN: Kaveh here, the founder of https://www.usage.ai/ We launched on Hacker News for the first time early last year, and we've made a lot of progress since then. We've saved tens of millions of dollars for companies, and we are even more excited to announce the launch of a new product: insured reservations for RDS! We worked closely with AWS on this feature and are excited to finally make it generally available. We help companies drive down AWS EC2 & RDS spend. Why? Because the way it's done now is a pain. DevOps and Software Engineers end up spending time managing costs…

Hey HN, BuildJet makes GitHub Actions faster, by running the workflows on our Gaming CPU cloud. You still get to keep everything GitHub Actions, we simply replace the underlying GitHub Actions runner with our Gaming CPUs. All you do is change 1 line, and get 2x faster and cheaper builds. GitHub Action is very slow - Developers are wasting their time – Waiting for GitHub Actions to give you a green checkbox on PR, is very wasteful and extremely tedious. - GitHub Actions runner hardware is old and slow – GitHub Actions use old and slow machines from Azure. Some of your workflows run on servers…
