Self-hosted macOS hardware fleet (2018-2019 Intel Macs) was outdated and unreliable.
Significant engineering time was being consumed by macOS runner maintenance and troubleshooting.
On-premises infrastructure couldn't scale to meet growing development team needs.
Simple setup process with minimal migration effort from existing workflows.
Built-in Bazel cache support for dramatically faster builds.
Ability to spin up instances directly from command line for debugging and testing.
Access to both AMD64 and ARM64 Linux runners alongside macOS options.
The migration began with macOS runners exclusively, but organically expanded as other teams discovered the benefits of Namespace's Linux infrastructure.
Initial migration focused on replacing self‑hosted macOS runners.
After validating the performance gains, also AMD64 and ARM64 Linux runners were adopted.
Multiple development teams recognized the benefits and gradually moved their workflows.
