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.

Ack. Will take a look.

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 selecti…

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-competi…

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 monetizat…

fixed it - sorry about that.

thanks for the love! we are actively considering supporting other providers.

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 co…

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…

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…

ah! a fellow futurama lover, i see you

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…

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 t…

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 ima…

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 us…
