My immediate reaction is, does this offer a feature incentive to use this when I already have this in AWS CodePipeline+CodeBuild?



Hey thank you for the great question! I think the short answer is that if you already have all of this wired up in CodePipeline+CodeBuild and it works for you, then you're probably set.

But there is a few steps to get there in that setup. I believe you have to have three CodeBuild projects, one for each architecture & then the manifest merge. So it works but is a bit of config to stitch together.

With Depot, you would just install our `depot` CLI in your config and run `depot build --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64` instead of `docker build`. We handle building the image on both architectures in parallel and can push the merged result to your registry. We can even run the builders in your own AWS account so you maintain total control of the underlying infra building your image.

We are working on other features for Depot that would go beyond the speed & multi-platform capabilities. We want to surface insights and telemetry about image builds that could help them be smaller, faster, and smarter. We are also thinking about things in the container security space such as container signing, sboms, etc. Happy to answer more questions about any of this!
