Integrate BuildJet in Slack
with Axolo

BuildJet is a powerful GitHub application that offers high-performing, secure, and cost-effective runners for CI workflows. Unlike GitHub Actions, which rely on old and cheap Azure hardware, BuildJet leverages its custom bare-metal infrastructure and custom VM Hypervisor management solution, specifically designed for the CI use case. This results in faster builds, with CI workflows being on average 2x faster than GitHub Action's built-in runner.

To use BuildJet for GitHub Actions, you need to install it and specify a runner tag in the jobs.[job-name].runs-on property. It is recommended to start with the 4 vCPU runner, which has the same cost as the GitHub runner and serves as a good baseline for comparison. BuildJet offers a complete list of runners to choose from, ensuring that you can select the runner that best suits your needs.

Overall, BuildJet is an excellent choice for businesses that rely on GitHub Actions for their CI workflows. With its superior performance, security, and cost-effectiveness, BuildJet helps businesses streamline their CI workflows and achieve their goals faster.
