10x cheaper runners for GitHub Actions workflows. Fully self-hosted on AWS. Between 30%-50% faster than official GitHub runners. Linux + Windows + GPUs. Unlimited cache + Static IPs + Private networking. More than 600k runners started every week.
Hey, I'm not good at submitting my own products, but at this point it's a bit of an embarrassment to not get the ProductHunt backlink already.
And maybe this can get some traction? Who knows, but if you are spending too much on GitHub Actions, or feel like you are wasting time / $$$ on your action-runner-controller (ARC) Kubernetes cluster or your own self-hosted runners, you should definitely check out RunsOn!
It already spawns more than 500k runners every week across all users, takes 10 minutes to setup in your AWS account, and you won't share your precious secrets and code with anyone else, contrary to many 3rd-party alternatives. Price-wise, you won't be disappointed, since you can get up to 90% savings over the official GitHub runners.
I also maintain a benchmark comparing RunsOn vs GitHub and 3rd-party runners: https://runs-on.com/benchmarks/g.... Some are faster than others, some are cheaper, you can see for yourself.
Have a great day!
Congratulations! We've been using it, and it has saved us a ton of time and resources, especially when combined with AWS credits. Keep up the great work!
We started adopting runs-on.com on https://github.com/aptos-labs/ap... a few months ago and it's been great! We were able to both reduce cost and decrease duration of our jobs, running hundreds/thousands of jobs on very large machines daily. This replaced our previous usage of the k8s-based github-actions-runner-controller.
Some noteworthy additional callouts:
1. runs-on's built-in S3-powered caching support (with virtually infinite cache size and very fast upload+download speed) helped reduce some of our builds runtime (incl. docker builds) quite a lot, which is something we didn't even count on.
2.@crohr has been extremely responsive (better than bigger startups/competitors) to fixing bugs or implementing feature requests, often times making improvements within just days.
congrats on the launch! This seems like a no-brainer. Appreciate the benchmarks you've shared also, excellent transparency 👏
We've been users for 9 months now and it's been the most impactful product we've adopted this year (tied with PostHog). Halved our CI times at the same time as reducing our CI bill by 65%. Exceptional support from Cyril. Robust product. Highly recommend.
We've been using RunsOn for 6 months now, we've divided our costs by 75% while increasing the speed of our pipelines (thanks to better CPU + having control on the base image used)
Cyril is very responsive to requests and regularly ships new features.
This is my product of the year!
Cyril responds to emails even from trial customers super quickly. And some of the "magic features" are so nice - especially that the whole team's SSH keys are imported from github and you can just SSH into any box without setup 🪄
Been using RunsOn for a quarter. We saved around 75% our costs, and our tests now run around 5x faster because we can use gigantic spot instances cost-effectively.
We've been using runs-on for a short while and have already seen massive savings compared to using GH actions with larger runners.
The ease of setup is also amazing, where it says on the website that it will take 10 minutes to setup I think that's understating how simple and quick it is to get going.
We've been using RunsOn for almost a year now at Dashdoc and after benchmarking a lot of tools in this space, it's the best I've found so far. We run thousands of jobs per day using it.
- We divided our costs by 4 while increasing the speed of our CI pipelines
- We get almost unlimited concurrency (within the limits of AWS quotas, you need to be patient to ask for increases little by little)
- We keep everything in our own account
- We have access to every instance type that is available on AWS
- The initial setup was super easy
Keep up the great work Cyril!
We have been using runs-on for more than half a year and are delighted by cost, speed benefit and easy maintenance. Cyril is super responsive on requests and always moving the product forward. I have been promoting it to other friends, who adopted it for their companies. My favourite product this year!
