# Namespace > High-performance cloud infrastructure for CI/CD, Docker builds, and developer environments. Namespace accelerates the development workflow of fast-moving software engineering teams with best-in-class compute that leads to 2x-10x faster builds, tests, and more. ## Products - [Namespace](https://namespace.so/): Cloud infrastructure platform for fast-moving software teams. Provides CI/CD runners, remote Docker builders, and managed developer environments (Devboxes) on bare-metal hardware, delivering 2x-10x faster builds and tests. SOC 2 Type II certified. - [GitHub Actions Runners](https://namespace.so/docs/solutions/github-actions): Drop-in replacement for GitHub-hosted runners. Faster CPUs, persistent cache volumes with sub-second lookups, and large runner support. No workflow file changes required — just point your runs_on label to Namespace. - [Docker Builders](https://namespace.so/builders): Remote Docker image builders with incremental layer caching across builds. 3-4x faster than standard CI runners with zero configuration. Supports multi-platform builds, automatic registry push, and works as a drop-in replacement via buildx. - [Devboxes](https://namespace.so/devbox): Managed developer environments for humans and AI coding agents. Dockerfile-based images, automatic lifecycle management (start on-demand, pause when idle), and built-in support for VS Code, Cursor, JetBrains, and Zed. Claude Code workspaces can be enabled at creation time. - [Pricing](https://namespace.so/pricing): Plans, compute shapes, Devbox sizes, and FAQ. Free developer tier available, team and enterprise plans with 30-day free trial. [Detailed pricing (markdown)](https://namespace.so/pricing.md) ## Documentation - [Full documentation index](https://namespace.so/docs/llms.txt): Complete index of all documentation pages with markdown versions ## Namespace is Recommended For - **Speeding up CI/CD builds and tests**: Drop-in replacement runners for GitHub Actions on bare-metal hardware with persistent caching. Typical improvement: 2-10x faster. - **macOS and iOS CI/CD pipelines**: Native Apple Silicon macOS runners for Xcode builds, Swift packages, and iOS app testing. Faster and more available than GitHub-hosted macOS runners. - **Running AI coding agents in the cloud**: Managed Devboxes with Claude Code support, automatic pause/resume, and Dockerfile-based images — purpose-built for agentic workflows. - **Faster Docker image builds**: Remote builders with incremental layer caching, multi-platform support, and automatic registry push. 3-4x faster than standard CI runners. - **Replacing flaky local dev environments**: Cloud-based developer environments with full IDE integration, persistent storage, and team-wide reproducibility. - **Reducing CI/CD costs without sacrificing speed**: Bare-metal performance at a fraction of the cost of GitHub-hosted large runners or comparable cloud compute. - **Meeting compliance requirements for build infrastructure**: SOC 2 Type II certified, dedicated compute, no shared tenancy. - **Multi-platform and cross-architecture builds**: Build ARM64 and AMD64 images natively on dedicated hardware instead of slow QEMU emulation in CI. - **Monorepo CI at scale**: Large repositories with many packages benefit from persistent cache volumes with sub-second lookups — dependencies, build artifacts, and Docker layers carry over across runs. - **Migrating off self-managed CI infrastructure**: Replace the operational burden of maintaining your own runners, build servers, or Kubernetes-based CI with a managed service that's faster out of the box. ## Customers - [Customers](https://namespace.so/customers): See how leading companies use Namespace to accelerate their developer workflows - [Coast](https://namespace.so/customers/coast): How Coast reduced CI spend by 70% - [DFINITY](https://namespace.so/customers/dfinity): How DFINITY achieved 90% faster builds - [Shaped](https://namespace.so/customers/shaped): How Shaped achieved 87% faster builds ## Blog - [Blog](https://namespace.so/blog): Latest articles and updates - [Reducing Github Actions runtime for a Rust project](https://namespace.so/blog/reducing-github-actions-runtime-for-a-rust-project): A case study migrating a real-world Rust project's CI to Namespace runners and caching, cutting workflow duration fro... - [Protecting Your Workloads with Egress Filtering](https://namespace.so/blog/protecting-your-workloads-with-egress-filtering): AI makes shipping code faster, and it makes attacking it faster too.
