10x cheaper runners for GitHub Actions workflows. Fully self-hosted on AWS. Between 30%-50% faster than official GitHub runners. Linux + Windows + GPUs. Unlimited cache + Static IPs + Private networking. More than 600k runners started every week.
Ephemeral self-hosted GitHub Actions runners in your own AWS account. One CloudFormation or Terraform stack, no Kubernetes, any EC2 instance per job.
Ephemeral EC2 runners in your own AWS account: any instance per job, picked by label, gone when the job ends. One CloudFormation stack to deploy, one line to migrate. Then it just runs. A job is queued, an instance boots in your account, the job runs, the instance is terminated. About 30 seconds from queued to running, and nothing waits around in between. If GitHub must not call into your account at all, Fleet runs the same loop pull-based: no inbound webhook, no public endpoint. cheaper than GitHub-hosted runners — you pay AWS directly, no per-minute markup. jobs every day — ephemeral runners launched and destroyed, one box per job. vCPUs daily — from 1 to 896 per runner, across x64 ·…from runs-on.com

GPU runners for GitHub Actions, 10x cheaper2024 · runs-on.com · ▲7I'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.

Talanoa▲343Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
