Show HN: WarpBuild – x86-64 and arm GitHub Action runners for 30% faster builds (self.hackernews)

submitted 1 hour ago by haxor to c/hackernews

0 comments fedilink

Hey HN, I’m Surya and I’m excited to show you WarpBuild!

WarpBuild provides fast, secure x86-64 and arm64 Github actions runners. This speeds up your workloads by 30%, at half the cost, and takes ~2mins to get started.

We’ve been seeing pretty good results since we opened up signups a week ago and I’ve shared some numbers publicly here [1].

Currently, we support linux runners for Github organizations (not personal accounts) and MacOS support is coming soon (~Jan).

The way the runners work is deceptively simple: Runners are assigned to hardware that is ideal for build workloads with fast NVMe disks and high single-core performance.

The runners are allocated on VMs, not containers. This provides faster performance and enables use cases requiring (1) nested virtualization for running firecracker and other hypervisors, (2) k8s without relying on kind, and (3) Android emulators on arm64 instances in test workflows.

We also have released a Github Action called Action-Debugger that allows you to SSH into a running workflow for simplifying pesky debugging[2].

The same set of packages that you’d get on Github hosted runners are pre-configured (on x86-64 runners) so everything works out of the box with no modifications needed.

A very minor detail that I’m rather proud of, and I’d love your thoughts on improving it further, is the onboarding flow for the ease of moving workflows to WarpBuild. We’ve also put in a lot of effort into making the workflow start up time where we are as fast or faster than Github.

Making builds faster by providing optimal hardware and configurations across CI providers is the first step in our mission to make build engineering better.

I’d love your feedback on the product and thoughts on other CI pain points we could solve to enable better collaboration and developer experience.

Hetzner is terminating contracts with all users who had a Russian postal address (self.hackernews)

Just received: We regret to inform you that due to the tense geopolitical situation with Russia, we will be ending our contractual relationship with customers from Russia.

Political decisions have led to changes in the legal regulations that affect our business with Russian-based customers. Unfortunately, we can no longer have contracts with customers with Russian postal addresses. This will affect everyone with a Russian address stored on Hetzner Accounts.

After we analyze the customer databases, we will send the affected customers a notice of termination for all products and services on Friday, 15 December 2023. It will take effect from 31 January 2024. We recommend that you take appropriate measures now.
