# Speed up your Docker Builds with Namespace

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

## Getting Started

<Steps titleSize="h3">
  <Step title="Initialize access to Namespace">
    Using the [CLI](/docs/reference/cli/installation), log into your workspace.
    If you're accessing Namespace from a cloud provider or your CI platform, we recommend to set up [workflow federation](/docs/federation) instead.

    ```bash theme={null}
    nsc login
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure your Docker">
    Connect your local Docker CLI to use Namespace Builders for any build invocation.

    ```bash theme={null}
    nsc docker buildx setup --background --use
    ```

    The command above registers Namespace as a remote driver with your local Docker.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Done!">
    Your builds will now run on Namespace:

    ```bash theme={null}
    docker build . -t app:latest
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

## 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, Apple M4 Pro or M5 Max
* **Persistent build environments** with pre-warmed base images and high-throughput cache access

## Next Steps

**[Build Observability →](/docs/solutions/docker-builders/tracing-and-logs)** Monitor build performance and identify bottlenecks through build layer tracing and critical path analysis.

**[Private Container Registry →](/docs/solutions/docker-builders/registry)** Speed up image pulls from testing workflows by pushing your images to [nscr.io](/docs/architecture/storage/container-registry) to unlock automatic global distribution.
