Speed up your Docker Builds with Namespace

Enterprise-grade Docker build infrastructure that delivers unmatched performance and scalability for development teams.

Why Namespace Builders?

Reliable, consistent performance on best-in-class AMD and Apple hardware
Maximum incremental caching shared workspace-wide with sub-second lookups
Build API / SDK for programmatic access and advanced integrations
High build fan-out through automatic horizontal and vertical scaling
Cost optimized with transparent pricing and custom plans for larger customers
Enterprise ready SAML SSO, SCIM, SLAs, audit logs, external log & metric sinks

Getting Started

Initialize access to Namespace

Using the CLI, log into your workspace. If you're accessing Namespace from a cloud provider or your CI platform, we recommend to set up workflow federation instead.

$ nsc login

Configure your Docker

Connect your local Docker CLI to use Namespace Builders for any build invocation.

$ nsc docker buildx setup --background --use

The command above registers Namespace as a remote driver with your local Docker.

Done!

Your builds will now run on Namespace:

$ docker build . -t app:latest

How it works

Remote Builders deliver exceptional performance through purpose-built infrastructure, dynamic scaling and vertical integration. When you issue a build, Namespace selects the best hardware and location to execute your build and provisions a builder within seconds.

  • Dedicated compute instances starting at 16+ vCPU / 32+ GB RAM
  • NVMe SSD storage with high IOPS for fast layer operations and dependency downloads
  • Native build performance AMD64 builds on high-performance AMD Epyc CPUs
    ARM64 builds on AmpereOne, and soon on Apple M4 Pros
  • Persistent build environments with pre-warmed base images and high-throughput cache access

Next Steps

Build Observability → Monitor build performance and identify bottlenecks through build layer tracing and critical path analysis.

Private Container Registry → Speed up image pulls from testing workflows by pushing your images to nscr.io to unlock automatic global distribution.
