Depot Pros and Cons

from the beginning, Depot has always acted with urgency on our interactions, the setup is literally installing their Github App and changinging a single line

Settiing up Depot was the most effective initiative in 2024 and it was only a week of effort, including writing the business case and presenting to the VP. It was really easy to convince management and after a few months of usage we observed 60% cost redution Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

During onboarding we had a surprise with job queue time, which is the time from we trigger a job to the time the job is running.

Depot prioritized solving this issue, and within a week they deployed a new implementation that stabilized queue times to an acceptable range Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Depot is one of the best decisions I made for our team. The accelerator to DevX here is massive. We had orders of magnitude increase in our CI/CD pipelines allowing for more test coverage and quality because of the speed and cost savings that Depot provided.

Very few products just work the way Depot just works. Its stable, dependable, and basically a NOOP to implement. Every single time we've needed assistance the Depot team has been dilligent to jump in to help, and solve our problems. We moved quickly to replace all of our workflows in github actions with these runners, and developers used depot cross container builds every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That Kyle and Jacob waited until 2022 to start this. I really don't have any critiques to add at this point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- FAST, does what it says on the tin.

- Super easy to get going. We just had to change a couple of lines in our github actions workflow file to start building Docker images using Depot.

- The team deeply understands the technology and problem space. I feel like I'm buying a service that will only improve and mature further. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much, to be honest. Early on we experienced issues with builds failing when git submodules changed, but the team did a good job helping us troubleshoot and ultimately fixed the problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
