Accelerate Your Circle CI with Namespace

Transform your CI/CD pipeline with high-performance runners. Namespace offers unique capabilities to speed up your Circle CI workflows and eliminate maintenance headache.

Why Namespace Runners?

Reliable, consistent performance on best-in-class AMD Epyc CPUs
High-throughput caching directly integrated with your tooling
Easy to debug via breakpoints, VNC, container logs, metrics, and OOM detection
Scales with you auto-scaling CI clusters with flexible machine types
Flexible, competitive pricing custom plans available for larger customers
Enterprise ready SAML SSO, SCIM, SLAs, audit logs, external log & metric sinks

Getting started

Namespace provides high-performance Kubernetes clusters that seamlessly support Circle CI runners. The clusters directly respond to Circle CI events and scale automatically to support your capacity requirements.

This feature is currently under closed preview. If you'd be interested to try it out in the future, leave us a quick note at support@namespace.so

Join the early access

  1. Find your CircleCI Organization ID in Organization Settings > Overview in the CircleCI web application.

  2. Email support at support@namespace.so with both your Organization ID and your Namespace workspace ID from the Dashboard.

Set up your runners

After gaining access to your auto-scaling Kubernetes cluster, deploy Circle CI container runners to it.

$ helm repo add container-agent \
    https://packagecloud.io/circleci/container-agent/helm
 
$ helm repo update
$ helm install container-agent container-agent/container-agent -n circleci

Finally, update the access credentials for the container agent.

How it works

Namespace Runners are powered by Namespace Compute which uses best-in-class hardware for every platform:

  • Linux AMD64 runs on high-performance AMD EPYC CPUs.
  • Linux ARM64 supported by AmpereOne (high memory configurations), and Apple M4 Pro.
  • Windows AMD64 runs on high-performance AMD EPYC CPUs.
  • macOS ARM64 Apple M4 Pro (or M2 Pro on some configurations).

Namespace runners seamlessly resize the backing Kubernetes cluster through a workspace-private network (VPC). Through dynamic cluster sizing, Namespace runners can support highly concurrent workflow bursts, while staying cost competitive during off-peak times.
