Fast GitHub Actions runners.

CI/CD
Our review

What we like

Faster runners using more up to date CPUs. Supports faster caching of jobs (up to 400MB/s vs GitHub 100MB/s) and colocation of caching physically closer to the runners. Includes a Docker pull-through cache. Cheaper runner costs. Custom caching actions optimized for Rust, Gradle, Zig. NVMe backed I/O.

What we don't like

Doesn’t support personal GitHub accounts. No Windows or macOS runners.
