🎄 Join the Depot Advent of Code 2025 leaderboard! 12 days of puzzles starting Dec 1. All languages & skill levels welcome. But here's what makes it special: we're donating $7,500 to charity based on the leaderboard results. 🧵

Just a reminder that we saved developers 162,760 hours last week. That’s 4,069 developer-weeks or ~78 full-time developer-years worth of time redirected from waiting to building.

New: GitHub Actions analytics in Depot ✅ Performance trends over time ✅ CPU & memory monitoring ✅ Identify slowest jobs ✅ Optimization recommendations Finally see what's working in your workflows. 🧵

GitHub: Your build failed. Me: Why? GitHub: Yes.

and developers know } takes by far the longest to find.

2 types of developers... Lions and sloths.

Here are 3 GitHub Actions errors that look like runner problems but aren't: Your self-hosted runner is online and idle, but jobs keep timing out with "Waiting for a runner to pick up this job..." What's actually going on? 🧵

The Knight of Depot has returned from his noble quest, having conquered KubeCon and restored the sacred bananas to their rightful owner, Banana Man.

If your builds are slow your release will blow

Depot’s distinguished gentleman. 🎩

Day 2! If you’re at KubeCon, come stop by and say hi to the team at booth 1453!

Today’s the day! See you all at KubeCon! Stop by booth 1453!

This is your weekly reminder that we saved developers 161,770 hours last week by changing a single line of code.

One thing you'll notice about Depot... is everyone gives a shit. 👇

You + KubeCon = Depot Minifigure 💚

Build performance = innovation velocity

Are you going to be at KubeCon NA next week in ATL? Come build-your-own Lego minifigure @ booth #1453 with the Depot crew. 🚀

“I like socks” - Probably Kyle

This reminds me... I need to find out from bossman, Kyle, if NEO is going to be a perk of the job... 🤖 ☠️

We saved developers 143,960 hours last week. 5,998 days. 16.4 years. That's it. That's the post.

For devs who can’t just Trick or Treat.

Every developer knows: Productivity increases 12% per sticker. Who needs a boost?

and devs know its always at 4:42 on a Friday for a 'quick fix'.

Debugging CI failures without log search is painful. So we built it for GitHub Actions. Search across repos, workflows, and time periods. Jump straight to the logs you need. Available now for all Depot users. 🚀

is it wrong, tho?

Why devs normalize this 😭

your Dockerfile isn't running line by line while npm install runs for your frontend, your Go backend is already compiling BuildKit parallelizes everything it can + deduplicates work across builds this is why container builds got fast 🧵

Developer math is better with Depot in the equation. :)

I’m feelin’ reckless. If 193 more developers try Depot this month, I’ll get the Depot logo tattooed. That’s how serious I am about torching every bottleneck in the build chain. Don’t let CL4P-TP down.

If you’re in tech, it’s over. IYKYK.

me normally: haha builds go brrr me this week: oh. oh this is what you all mean by slow build hell story time: 🧵

Every developers famous last words.

slow CI. slow Docker builds. slow cache misses. all the same problem: someone decided mediocre infrastructure was acceptable. We disagree. 💚

*insert funny caption about being a badass, data-driven company*

The Depot team takes strategy optimization very seriously. 🙇‍♂️

The backpack of Depots CTO and co-founder goes everywhere with him. Ready to help any customer, anywhere, anytime. No excuses.

Depot daddy, FTW.

We’ve got the need… the need for speed. 😏

How the f*ck is Depot so fast, you ask? Our Engineers train for speed. 🏎️

Why did the developer break up with their local Docker builds? Because Depot showed them what it's like to have a relationship that doesn't take forever to finish...

Offsite team bonding experience #1: Collectively messaging each other on discord figuring out if the shower is smarter than us.

First official picture from the V0 Depot offsite in Montpellier, France.🥳

“Don’t deploy on Fridays.” 🤮 Teams that play it safe say that. Teams that win use Depot.

What do technical writers actually do at startups? Way more than just docs. 🧵

depot bake > docker bake

Our new solutions engineer just made the bold claim that Depot runs on @Dunkin…. And here I thought we ran on the tears shed by developers over painful SDLCs…

The thing is... you don't have to live this way.

@depot.dev is doing a lot of work those days analyzing and sharing their finds about how their users interact with GitHub Action. Common mistakes or easy wins when it comes to optimization. depot.dev/blog/why-org...

Shout out to one of our very finest, PostHog, for securing that Unicorn status. Our gift to you for this amazing milestone is this... Hedgicorn?

98.5% of orgs have slow GitHub Actions checkouts. The other 1.5% do this...👇
