Depot
Software delivery built for machine scale
Depot is a software delivery platform that provides source control, container builds, CI runners, sandboxes, caches, and registries for engineering teams. It addresses the bottleneck that occurs after code is written, when builds, CI, and deployment infrastructure need to scale reliably, particularly as teams orchestrate parallel work from AI agents alongside human engineers. All Depot products run on its own compute and orchestration layer called Switchyard.
The platform includes Depot Code, a Git-based source control system; Depot Cache, a persistent shared cache; Container Builds for multi-platform image builds; Depot CI, a programmable CI engine that runs GitHub Actions workflows; and Depot Registry for image storage. Depot CI supports parallel steps within jobs, custom sandbox images, SSH debugging, CLI and API access, and per-second billing. Security features include single-tenant compute, encrypted storage and communication, SOC 2 Type 2 compliance, SSO/SAML, RBAC, audit logging, and BYOC deployment options.
Depot is aimed at engineering teams, including those running AI agent workflows. Pricing includes a Developer plan for individuals with a 7-day trial, a Startup plan for production teams with unlimited users, and a Business plan with custom usage, dedicated infrastructure, GPU-enabled builds, and advanced compliance controls. Additional usage is billed per second or per minute depending on the service.
