Depot is a build infrastructure platform designed to accelerate Docker builds and CI workflows. It provides fast remote runners, build caching, and integrations for common CI environments such as GitHub Actions. The goal is to reduce build times and improve developer feedback without requiring major pipeline rewrites.
Depot uses usage-based build-minute pricing. A free tier covers limited monthly build minutes for small projects, while paid plans increase concurrency, runner performance, and support. Enterprise plans add options such as VPC runners, on-prem deployments, SSO, and custom SLAs. Final costs depend on runner size, build minutes, concurrency, and whether teams use hosted or self-managed infrastructure.

Depot's main strength is noticeably faster Docker and CI builds with minimal setup. It is especially useful for teams using GitHub Actions and containerized workflows that are currently slow or resource-intensive. The main drawbacks are cost scaling for heavy usage and less value for teams with simple build needs. It is best suited for engineering teams that want faster feedback loops and are willing to pay for managed build infrastructure.
