New Integration: Cycle.io and Depot.dev Team Up for Enhanced Docker Builds

In our continuous mission to improve development workflows and operational efficiency for our users, Cycle.io is thrilled to announce a new partnership with Depot. This collaboration is set to revolutionize how organizations build images, focusing on accelerating the Dockerfile build process.

"I'm particularly excited to add this integration to Cycle's platform. An organization can spend 60 seconds creating a Depot account, configure the integration on Cycle and immediately reduce their build times by upto 70%." - Jake Warner, CEO / Founder of Cycle.io

"I'm very excited about our integration with Cycle. Simplifying the orchestration process around containers, without Kubernetes, directly onto your own infrastructure with the build performance of Depot is going to further accelerate innovation. All in about 60 seconds of connecting your two accounts." - Kyle Galbraith - CEO / Co-Founder of Depot

Streamlining Your Build Process with Advanced Caching and Resources

In response to the evolving needs of organizations, Cycle.io is expanding its capabilities through a strategic integration with Depot. This addition to our platform brings enhanced Dockerfile build capabilities, enabling significantly faster image builds through leveraging Depot's advanced caching mechanisms and increased resources.

For developers, this means shorter wait times and more efficient use of resources, leading to a streamlined development process and faster time-to-market for your applications.

The integration concentrates specifically on builds from Dockerfiles. We've recognized that this area holds the most potential for time and resource savings, which can dramatically improve the efficiency of your CI/CD pipelines.

It's important to note that while this integration brings substantial improvements to Dockerfile builds, Cycle.io will continue to handle the imports for images from other sources, such as OCI registries and tarball endpoints. This decision ensures that all aspects of your container management remain seamless and efficient, without the need to redistribute resources unnecessarily.

How It Works: Seamlessly Integrating with Your Workflow

Integrating Depot's capabilities into your Cycle.io workflow is designed to be as smooth and straightforward as possible. Users can easily navigate to their 'Hub Integrations', select 'Depot' under 'Image Builders' and add a project token. After the integration is live, users can select specific Depot projects per image source.

Once enabled, your builds will automatically benefit from Depot's enhanced caching and resource allocation, leading to faster build times and improved efficiency. This integration is transparent and seamless, allowing you to focus on what's important: building and deploying applications.

"The depot integration cut more than half of our already pretty fast build times, definitely the fastest container build pipeline I've used. Builds that previously took nearly 3 minutes now happen in under a minute." - Thomas van der Pol - Senior Developer at Disco Labs
