Shipfox runners are fully managed GitHub Actions runners. They deliver the highest CI performance at a fraction of the cost.

What makes the runners so fast ?

✅ Dedicated physical cores with high single-core speed

Each vCPU runs on a dedicated physical core, no hyperthreading, no overprovisioning. Our latest-gen CPUs deliver top-tier single-thread performance, ideal for CI tasks like builds, linting, and dependency installs. Most CI steps aren't parallelized, so single-core speed matters most, and that's where Shipfox excels.

⚡️ Local NVMe SSDs

Our runners use local SSDs for blazing-fast disk I/O. This significantly speeds up dependency installation and other disk-heavy steps. In contrast, most cloud runners use slower, network-attached storage.

🚀 High-speed co-located cache

We automatically intercept cache requests and redirect them to our 4× faster caching infrastructure. This reduces the time spent on downloading or restoring cache during your workflow.

Why choose Shipfox?

• Blazing fast performance: Shipfox runs your jobs on bare-metal CPUs optimized for high single-thread performance. Most CI steps complete in a fraction of the time compared to GitHub-hosted runners.
• 50% lower cost per minute: Our pricing is half of GitHub's per-minute rate. Combined with faster job completion, your total CI cost drops significantly.
• Drop-in replacement: Keep your GitHub Actions workflows unchanged. Shipfox integrates seamlessly with just a single line code change.
• Smarter caching: Our custom network stack accelerates all caching operations, no limits, no slowdowns.
• Unlimited concurrency: Run as many jobs as you need, no queuing, no waiting, even during peak usage.

Try Shipfox and make your CI faster, cheaper, and simpler.
