buildjet.com is doing this, works great to access ARM machines as well

Switched to @BuildJet for building arm/arm64 Dokku images in CI. Now instead of timing out after an hour or taking ~20 minutes to build, ARM/ARM64 builds complete in 2 minutes, as quickly as AMD64! github.com/dokku/dokku/pull/…

Investing in larger machines for docker builds is such a no-brainer! Got our build times @mitidotai down from ~20 mins to <5 mins by transitioning to runners provided by @BuildJet

@BuildJet is truly amazing. We went from building our Expo app 2x faster and 2x cheaper with changing only 1 line of code.

Signed up with @BuildJet this evening to bring ARM64 build runs to ImageSharp so we can finally add and test ARM intrinsics. Super impressed with the ease of integration and performance. Kudos!!

Switching from the default github macos-latest runners to buildjet, seems like a big win. Anyone else doing similar for Android Emulator builds in CI? buildjet.com/for-github-acti…

It’s pretty crazy how inefficient most CI setups are. We’re spending 99% of the time reinstalling 99% the same dependencies as last time and recompiling the same code as last time etc. How did we end up in this situation?

Do you use GitHub Actions, but find it too slow? BuildJet for GitHub Actions: 👉 2x faster runners 👉 Install by replacing `ubuntu-latest` with `buildjet-2204` 👉 Increased runner concurrency Keep GitHub Actions, just not their runners! buildjet.com/for-github-acti…

TIL about @BuildJet: faster *managed* runners for GitHub Actions! Don't want to spend a day setting up your own self-hosted runners on AWS and then worry about the hassle of supporting that? @BuildJet is ✨super easy✨, fast, and they take over the maintenance effort 💟

That was impressive onboarding. A couple clicks and edit one line in the workflow and now it's 3x faster. No clue what the bill will look like, that's excitement for another day. @BuildJet
