Founder of WarpBuild here. We provide GHA runners that are much faster and about half the cost. This includes MacOS. Check us out. https://warpbuild.com

Founder of WarpBuild here: we provide faster runners (also cheaper), and have some niceties around debugging workflows like ssh-ing into them, observability etc.

Founder of WarpBuild here. We have faster compute: baremetal for amd64 workloads, AWS for arm64 etc. We optimize for overall performance in real world jobs and have a broad selection of regions/OSes/arch available. There aren&#x27

The statement regarding the better option is as it stands today and does not account for all possible futures. Reg. hiking it again, they'd have to either be extremely anti-competitive and selectively apply the pricing OR apply the hik

Small to mid sized OSS projects benefit heavily from this. There is a size beyond which the free runner sizes become insufficient, but the assumption is that some form of monetization is figured out by that time. For example, we have a lot

Hey, WarpBuild founder here. While it makes it harder for us to communicate this, we're still, we're still faster and cheaper even after the $0.002/min self hosting tax. Overall costs go up for everyone but we remain the bett

it's rather egregious that it is a "per minute" tax rather than a $0.002 per job.

Here are the practical implications and considerations to optimize for cost, given the new pricing. These are generic and ensure you think through your workflows and runners before making any changes. 1. Self-hosting runners or using WarpBu

We only have macos arm64 (M-series) runners. Can you point me to the intel reference so I can fix it?

Thanks for the WarpBuild love! Performance is the primary lever to pay less $0.002/min self hosting tax and we strive to provide the best performance runners.

With these changes, three things hold: 1. Services like blacksmith and WarpBuild (I'm the founder) are still cheaper than GitHub hosted runners, even after including the $0.002/min self-hosting tax. 2. The biggest lever for contro

The lever that matters the most with the new $0.002/min tax is to reduce the number of minutes consumed. Given that GitHub runners are still slow as ever, it actually is a point in our favor even compared to self-hosting on aws etc. Ho

Hey - thanks for the WarpBuild love! Given github ran 11.5 billion mins of actions in 2025, and most of them would've been on self-hosted runners, this move makes some sense from their POV. However, this is still an... interesting... m

Yep, the discussion there seems to be mostly around the pricing itself rather than what can be done about it (assuming users are still sticking with github).

I put together a draft of the levers that are available to control costs. Curious to know what other optimizations would make an impact to your org.

Founder of WarpBuild here. Our arm64 runners are ~2x faster than Blacksmith. This is because we use a newer generation of more powerful instances. If you're building multi arch images, here is a page that may be useful: https:/&#

I've seen this pattern quite a bit with our users, and we've implemented "snapshots" for this. It essentially makes a copy of your entire state of the runner, which you can then use in subsequent runs, with no concurrenc

For writing technical styled documentation, I've found fumadocs to be amazing. It looks great out of the box and supports a product switcher, which can be used for maintaining related products or product versions. It also supports Open

Something like this may help by letting you ssh into the running instance so you can debug with the exact context: https://docs.warpbuild.com/tools/action-debugger
