BuildPulse Runners: Your builds 2x as fast, half the cost.
BuildPulse Runners integrates with GitHub Actions, CircleCI, and Semaphore CI to run your builds with significant performance improvements, at half cost compared to hosted runners. Here's how:
GitHub Actions uses decade-old CPUs that have poor single-core performance - leaving much to be desired.
We use GitHub’s self-hosted functionality to run your builds on our infrastructure with latest generation + high single-core performance CPUs, also then further optimized for CI-type workloads. We’ve also tuned our VMs and block storage devices, increasing baseline performance while also cutting costs in half.
We also provide a toolkit to further speed up your pipelines, which includes ultra fast remote docker builders, docker layer caching, dependency caching, and more. With all of these improvements, we’ve seen 2x+ performance improvements in build times.
Integrations: Seamlessly integrates into (without replacing) your existing CI system – GitHub Actions, CircleCI, and SemaphoreCI – with minimal configuration.
Onboarding Time: Faster than your next build takes to finish.
Fast Builds: Infrastructure that uses resources more efficiently to accelerate your builds and reduce cost.
Customizable Images and Machine Configurations: Bake your own images or choose optimized templates tailored specifically for your builds.
Toolkit: Building blocks to further speed up your pipelines.
In-Cluster Caching: Caching at every level – Docker image layers, application dependencies, and artifacts.
Instant Observability: Built-in Prometheus endpoints providing seamless integration with your existing monitoring tools.
Security: SOC 2 Type 2-compliant, and your builds are network- and compute- isolated.
White-glove Support: Dedicated, proactive assistance ensuring smooth operations.
