BuildJet

We're excited to announce that BuildJet is a part of the @ycombinator W23 batch! ycombinator.com/companies/buil…

@mitchellh buildjet.com is doing this, works great to access ARM machines as well

@ahussein Hey Akram, you've got Intercom mail!

@Ruud_ Issues have been enabled now. Feel free to leave an issue or a pull request.

@BuildJet It seems that the subactions restore and save are not supported. Will this be? I'd like to use BuildJet/cache/restore separately. The docs are also pointing to actions/cache/restore instead of BJ. It would be great if you enabled Issues on the repository: github.com/BuildJet/cache

We're excited to announce BuildJet Cache for GitHub Actions. A reliable, fast, and free alternative to GitHub Actions cache. It's compatible with any runner - official, self-hosted, or BuildJet. buildjet.com/for-github-act…

@Ruud_ Hi Ruud, the reason was pretty simple. We simply want to have exactly the half price as official runners, which is rounding up to the nearest minute.

@BuildJet Why did you decide to also round billing up to the nearest upper minute? Seems quite unfair. Makes splitting tests costlier as more waste minutes are billed.

@MichaelTrance1 @wuodaboge Let us know if you need any help!

@wuodaboge @BuildJet Will definitely give this a try , thanks

Set up CI/CD for a phoenix app today. Learnt a thing or 2 #MyElixirStatus

@tison1096 You can get around this by creating a free DockerHub account. #docker-rate-limiting-and-authentication" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">buildjet.com/for-github-act…

Seems that @BuildJet's image has a hard Docker pull rate limit that can prevent rapid development - perhaps image cache helps? github.com/korandoru/hawk…

Switched to @BuildJet for building arm/arm64 Dokku images in CI. Now instead of timing out after an hour or taking ~20 minutes to build, ARM/ARM64 builds complete in 2 minutes, as quickly as AMD64! github.com/dokku/dokku/pu…

@edmondo_po We recommend manually installing the specific python version. #arm-support-and-package-compatibility" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">buildjet.com/for-github-act…

@BuildJet I am trying to use buildjet/setup-python on buildjet-8vcpu-ubuntu-2204-arm with Python 3.11.4 and it fails but when I click github.com/edmondop/arroy… onthe available versions, 3.11.4 is available for arm64. Help :(

@Juice10 @rrweb_io Recommend using the 16vCPU runners, they have the best per core performance, and the most stable runner in terms of hardware. Looking forward to seeing the result!

@BuildJet I'm looking to run some benchmarks for @rrweb_io on Github Actions. What would you recommend is your most stable runner to do this? More info: labs.quansight.org/blog/2021/08/g…

Investing in larger machines for docker builds is such a no-brainer! Got our build times @mitidotai down from ~20 mins to <5 mins by transitioning to runners provided by @BuildJet

@jarredsumner There’s an issue with the GitHub’s cache action - github.com/actions/cache/… Due to lack of fixes, BuildJet is launching a free, fast and reliable caching action in the coming days, Github Actions users next week!

github actions r u ok

@zomars Unfortunately, not yet! Send us a message to contact@buildjet.com, and we'll sort you out.

Is there a way to clear the new build cache from @BuildJet ? I can't seem to find any CLI or UI for it.

@EastlondonDev @github Hey @EastlondonDev, We launched BuildJet Cache today! Take a look at our launch post to learn more: buildjet.com/for-github-act…

@EastlondonDev @github I’ll make sure to ping you when we launch the BuildJet Cache!

We use a few @github features and we seem to be stuck in a perfect storm. We use merge queues (awesome) large runners and a lot of GitHub actions cache to speed up our builds (it’s great). Recently actions cache has been slow and unreliable and this compounds to a big bill🧵

@BuildJet Been looking for Github ARM builders for months. Awesome product, we love it at @postgresml ! Keep it up.

@BuildJet is truly amazing. We went from building our Expo app 2x faster and 2x cheaper with changing only 1 line of code.

@BuildJet is seriously good! Our GitHub job duration went from 40 mins to 2 mins with their ARM runners.

@EastlondonDev @github Hey Andrew! You should check BuildJet for GitHub Actions - Change 1 line, get 2x faster and cheaper builds. Additionally, we'll soon launch our own `action/cache` compatible `buildjet/cache` action that makes caching reliable again. buildjet.com/for-github-act…

So, plea to @github is there anything you can do to help ?
