About Depot

Depot provides source control, builds, CI runners, sandboxes, caches, and registries for engineering teams. All of it runs on Depot's own infrastructure. It works with existing CI providers, developer tools, and compute platforms. Every product has an API, and AI agents use the same tools as engineers.

Products

  • Depot CI: Runs GitHub Actions workflows on Depot's own CI engine.
  • Depot Code: Hosts Git repositories on Depot or mirrors GitHub.
  • Container Builds: Builds Docker images on remote BuildKit builders for Intel and Arm.
  • Depot GitHub Actions runners: Depot-managed runners for GitHub Actions jobs.
  • Depot Cache: A managed remote build cache for Bazel, Turborepo, Go, and other tools.
  • Depot Registry: A container registry with a pull-through cache for upstream images.

Used for

  • Running coding agents in remote environments and reviewing their work

How to evaluate CI/CD & Build Automation

This is how the CIOPages Research Team evaluates this category. It is not an assessment of Depot. It comes from our CI/CD Pipeline Platforms buyer guide.

25%
Pipeline-as-Code & Authoring
YAML/declarative pipeline definition, reusable components (GitLab CI/CD components, Actions reusable workflows, CircleCI orbs), matrix/parallel builds, DAG fan-out, templating and inheritance, dynamic pipelines, and how readable the config stays at scale
20%
Supply-Chain Security
Short-lived OIDC credentials to cloud (no long-lived keys), scoped/ephemeral secrets, SBOM generation, signed-artifact provenance and SLSA build levels (attestations, Sigstore/cosign), dependency and secret scanning, and tamper-resistant, immutable build logs
20%
Runner Model & Performance
Managed vs. self-hosted vs. hybrid runners, Linux/Windows/macOS and Arm/GPU support, build caching and artifact reuse, concurrency and queue behavior under load, autoscaling, and access to private networks and internal artifacts
15%
SCM & Ecosystem Integration
Depth of integration with your source-control platform, breadth of marketplace/plugin/orb ecosystem, container-registry and Kubernetes/Argo CD ties, API and webhook coverage, and how cleanly it spans multiple SCMs or clouds if your estate is mixed
10%
Governance, Compliance & Audit
RBAC and SSO/SAML/SCIM, environment approvals and protected deployments, policy-as-code and required checks, segregation of duties, audit logging and change history, and SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / FedRAMP coverage for regulated delivery
10%
Cost Model & Operations
Per-user vs. consumption/credit vs. self-hosted economics at your real build volume, billing transparency, observability into pipeline duration and flakiness, AI assist for failure triage and config, and the maintenance burden the platform imposes on your team
