Blacksmith

We’ve raised our $10M Series A, led by Google Ventures. Meet Blacksmith.

@jezell hey @jezell! sorry to hear you ran into some OOM errors on our runners. can you please share some github org/job info in our DMs so our support team can take a look?

Switched to blacksmith because github actions keep going down. blacksmith arm docker runners randomly started failing with OOM yesterday on the largest runners (same workloads work fine on local tiny macs), preventing 100% of our arm builds from working there. Starting to feel like hosted CI providers just aren't worth it anymore.

@Kingsley_codes @theo Hey! We don't have Azure Devops support at the moment! We do want to support it in the future

to the folks at @useblacksmith , im thinking to move our builds to your service (succumbed to @theo 's ads haha). Probably a silly question, but is there support for Azure Devops? We wouldn't be able to move off.

@ankrgyl Check out @useblacksmith

Back before github, cloud, and containers were a thing, at memsql, we built our own git & CI infrastructure for a 100+ person team that ran on a couple bare metal machines. Builds (super complex C++ codebase) finished in 5 minutes and CI ran in 20 minutes end-to-end. Why? Files cached locally, no startup time, and incremental builds. Today, with the modern kluge of actions, VMs, sandboxes, snapshots, and caches it feels impossible to achieve this type of performance. I wonder if the constant onslaught of infrastructure challenges and increased performance demanded by coding agents will teleport us back to first principles in developing CI infrastructure. I hope it does.

Switched our Rust service build from standard GitHub Actions to @useblacksmith and the results are actually insane we’ve reduced it from over 10 minutes to just 3 minutes that’s an 70% reduction in CI time 🤯

@ryzmdotdev 💛💛

Just cut my GitHub Actions pipeline from 13 minutes to 6 minutes with @useblacksmith.

@rbright 💛💛

A fast validation loop is more important than ever. Proud 🦞 supporters

@openclaw 💛💛

🦞 Shoutout to @useblacksmith for sponsoring OpenClaw's build infrastructure Every commit gets tested automatically before it ships to you. That costs real money. Blacksmith just picked up the tab ❤️

The difference using blacksmith.sh is insane!! It's a no-brainer must-use tool!! @useblacksmith

@ccdotdev is letting me ship insanely fast. "I shipped 5 PRs today!" has turned into "I only shipped 5 PRs today." 20 PR days are now common All of it high-quality, human-reviewed code At this velocity, a 4 minute CI is a pain Thx @useblacksmith for cutting our CI time in 2!

Hell yeah. 11 mins to 2 mins

Your builds will soon have a hype meter.

CPUs are humming, packets are flowing, runners are running. Seriously though, hugops to the GH team 💛

@trylube 💛💛

Before / after migrating to @useblacksmith. Fucking unreal! There's no going back now 🫶 From jobs timing out ---> to taking 1m 39s and 51s The docker caching is bonkers 🤯

Damn @useblacksmith is really good. My CI has never been this fast. Shoutout to Claude for the rec

@wilhelmklopp 💛💛

Switching to @useblacksmith was such a QOL improvement I'm shipping countless PRs a day with an army of agents and CI is a real bottleneck
