GitHub Actions ‍Twice as fast. Half the cost.

Speed up your GitHub Actions with a one-line code change , by running them on high-performance gaming CPUs instead of GitHub's older server hardware

Since switching to Blacksmith, our build times are over 65% faster, our costs have gone down and our engineers are more productive. We couldn't be happier!

Blacksmith has been great for our developer velocity - it’s much faster than GitHub runners so our team spends much less time waiting for code to build.

We switched from GitHub-hosted runners to Blacksmith and saw decreased build times because of their better machines and caching. Our CI costs were also cut by half.

At Axelar, rust build times were constantly slowing us down. ‍‍ Blacksmith cut our rust build times from 9 mins to 3.5 mins while being 50% cheaper. The best part was how easy it was to use Blacksmith.

GitHub hosted runners use decade-old server CPUs that have poor single-core performance. Blacksmith runs your jobs on the latest generation gaming CPUs, which have high single-core performance that drastically speeds up your CI runs.
