Thanks! We already use self-hosted runners on physical machines with NVMe drives that we assembled ourselves. I was wondering if there's something else you're doing for the caching.
Founder of Depot here. For image builds, we’ve done quite a bit of optimization to BuildKit for our image builders to make certain aspects of the builds fast like load, cache invalidations, etc.
We also do native multi-platform builds behind one build command. So you can call depot build —platform Linux/amd64,linux/arm64 and we will build on native Intel and ARM CPUs and skip all the emulation stuff. All of that adds up to really fast image builds.

Hopefully that’s helpful!
