# Speed up your Docker Builds with Namespace

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

## Getting Started

### 1. Initialize access to Namespace

Using the [CLI](https://namespace.so/docs/reference/cli/installation.md), log into your workspace.
If you're accessing Namespace from a cloud provider or your CI platform, we recommend to set up [workflow federation](https://namespace.so/docs/federation.md) instead.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light-default","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
nsc login
```

### 2. Configure your Docker

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

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light-default","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
nsc docker buildx setup --background --use
```

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

### 3. Done!

Your builds will now run on Namespace:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light-default","dark":"github-dark-default"}}
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, Apple M4 Pro or M5 Max
* **Persistent build environments** with pre-warmed base images and high-throughput cache access

## Next Steps

**[Named Builders →](https://namespace.so/docs/solutions/docker-builders/named-builders.md)** Select a remote builder by name and configure its CPU and memory.

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

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

## Enterprise Support

Need to run hundreds of concurrent builds, dedicated capacity, or specialized support?
Our [support team](mailto:support@namespace.so) can provide dedicated consultation for complex build pipelines.
