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?

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.

Join the early access

Access to auto-scaling Kubernetes clusters is currently limited and requires manual enrollment by our support team. During the early access, some Namespace features may not be fully available yet.

  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 latest AMD Epyc CPUs.
  • Linux ARM64 runs on AmpereOne, and soon on Apple M4 Pros.

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.
