Overview

Depot gives engineering teams the fast source control, builds, CI runners, sandboxes, caches, and registries they need to ship reliable software they trust at AI speed. Companies like PostHog, Inference, Wistia, PlanetScale, Poolside, Astral, and Semgrep use Depot to power their entire software delivery stack.

Kyle and Jacob worked together as staff engineers for 4.5 years at Thorn and Era Software, before founding Depot. Depot is their take on what software delivery and a replacement for GitHub could look like in the world of AI.

Kyle Galbraith

Founder

Kyle Galbraith is the Co-Founder & CEO of Depot. He and Jacob Gillespie (CTO) built Depot after being faced with the same challenges time and time again surrounding slow CI builds across all generic providers. He is originally from Portland, Oregon but relocated to Montpellier, France in October 2022 to immerse himself in French culture with his wife who is originally from the area.
