{"id":76905,"title":"WarpBuild: Blazing fast x86-64 and ARM64 runners for Github actions","tagline":"Supercharge your development cycle with 30% faster runners in 2 minutes","body":"**WarpBuild provides blazing fast cloud CI runners that speed up of your builds by over 30%.**\n\nThis is a drop-in replacement for Github-hosted Actions runners (_including all pre-installed dependencies)_ that takes one line of code change to get started.\n\nOur mission is to deprecate this:\n\n![](https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/compiling.png)\n\n## **Key benefits:**\n\nYour existing github actions will run without any changes. You will also get:\n\n* **x86-64 and arm** architecture runners\n* **30% faster** than GitHub Actions at half the price\n* **Secure** VM-level isolation for your workloads\n* **Easy debugging** - SSH into running Github actions workflows\n* **Fast IO** with SSD backed volumes\n* **Unlimited parallelization** for eliminating job queueing delays\n* **Automatic updates** of pre-installed toolchains saving maintenance if you are self-hosting runners\n* **Runs as a VM**, not in a container, for workloads that don’t work in `dind` or `kind` environments\n\n## **Use cases:**\n\n* **Plain ol’ Github actions**, but faster, cheaper, and awesomer\n* **Easy debugging:** ssh into a running workflow using `Action-Debugger`\n* **Nested virtualization** for running firecracker, VMs, custom hypervisors, inside of your workflow\n* **Running android emulators** in CI\n* Spinning up kubernetes clusters in testing pipelines","slug":"K0P-warpbuild-blazing-fast-x86-64-and-arm64-runners-for-github-actions","created_at":"2023-12-14T06:22:01.182Z","updated_at":"2026-05-23T21:24:29.563Z","total_vote_count":9,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/K0P-warpbuild-blazing-fast-x86-64-and-arm64-runners-for-github-actions","share_image_url":"//bookface-static.ycombinator.com/assets/ycdc/yc-og-image-c440a0ad1dacfb86eeeb343717479cc54d256614449b4ef719977a0a451f8bc8.png","company":{"id":24344,"name":"WarpBuild","slug":"warpbuild","url":"https://www.warpbuild.com","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/dc34887fced4f954a1a9fd60de7afd828c9a1d74.png","batch":"Summer 2021","industry":"B2B","tags":["Developer Tools","Generative AI","SaaS","Productivity","DevOps"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/24344"}}
