Imagine that: we hate build inefficiencies 🙂 GitHub Actions does weird things, many weird and surprising things. But the first thing that caught our eye was how slow a runner can be at connecting home to the mothership, which is GitHub. We've seen anywhere from 1 second to 2

This is a great article walking through optimising slow GitHub actions. Interesting to see Next.js is maxing out the I/O when restoring from cache.

Depot builds Depot. So we made our own EC2 instances boot faster. From killing snap to tweaking fstab and skipping fsck, we shaved boot time from 4s to 2.8s. Faster boots = faster builds. We documented every step. 👉 depot.dev/blog/accelerat… #DevOps #SoftwareEngineers #CICD
