Depot

Depot builds a developer-first build platform that accelerates container builds up to 40x and speeds up CI workflows, backed by Y Combinator and run as a remote-first team.

Depot is a developer tools company that builds a build platform designed to make software builds dramatically faster. Its remote container build service accelerates container builds by up to 40x, and the company says its software is used by thousands of teams. Founded in 2022, Depot is backed by Y Combinator and operates as a remote-first, distributed organisation.

The product line centres on build and CI infrastructure. Depot CI is aimed at accelerating CI workflows, while managed GitHub Actions runners provide faster execution for existing workflows. A distributed caching layer shortens build times, and a container registry handles image storage. The platform is also exposed programmatically through APIs, SDKs and a command-line interface.

Technical work spans container build acceleration, CI/CD infrastructure, distributed caching, developer tooling and platform engineering. The company describes its working style as small teams shipping daily, with high ownership and little process. Communication is written and asynchronous by default, with a stated preference for focus over facetime, and roles include platform engineers and developer advocates.
