**APIs profiled:** 5

Depot is a fast container-image build and remote cache service. It runs Docker builds and GitHub Actions jobs on managed, single-tenant cloud compute with persistent BuildKit cache, and exposes Depot Cache as a remote cache backend for tools like Bazel, Go, Turborepo, Gradle, and sccache. Depot is programmable through a public API at api.depot.dev built on Connect (multiprotocol gRPC, gRPC-Web, and HTTP/JSON) for managing projects, tokens, and builds, plus the depot CLI.
