It just works, faster CI at half the cost
What do you like best about the product?
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

What do you dislike about the product?
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

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Depot offers an alternative to using Github on-demand runners.
Depot runners are hosted in AWS which allow me to rely on implementation assumptions.
For example:
When we use Github Ondemand runners, we had to also use Github Container Registry (ghcr.io), using an alternative like AWS Elastic Container Registry (ECR) would cost extra on data transfer, but with Depot Runners we can safely use any AWS service without cost penalties
