Problem
Software teams experience long wait times for continuous integration (CI) builds because shared, general‑purpose cloud runners often lack the compute power and caching efficiency needed for modern, AI‑augmented development pipelines. Slow builds reduce developer productivity and increase cloud costs.
Solution
Avrea offers purpose‑built CI/CD runners that run on high‑clock‑speed EPYC CPUs, local NVMe storage, and DDR5 memory, delivering up to 3× faster execution and up to 145× speedup when combined with its smart caching layer. Dependencies are cached locally on the runner after the first execution, eliminating network round‑trips for subsequent builds. The platform provides full pipeline observability, searchable logs, step‑level metrics, and SSH access to live jobs. Migration to Avrea requires only a one‑line change in a GitHub Actions workflow, enabling teams to start using faster runners instantly. Pricing is usage‑based per runner‑minute with a free tier of 3,000 minutes each month, making the service cost‑effective and scalable.
Target Audience
Avrea targets software development teams and DevOps groups that use GitHub Actions for CI/CD, especially those needing faster build times, reliable caching, and detailed pipeline insights.
