Show HN: WarpBuild – x86-64 and arm GitHub Action runners for 30% faster builds
This looks promising, but it doesn't work on personal accounts. I'm not ready to install it on my organization account just yet.
Can I expect complex caching actions like https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/magic-nix-cache to work as quickly as they do on GitHub?

Show HN: WarpBuild – x86-64 and arm GitHub Action runners for 30% faster builds
Exactly my experience as well: https://x.com/crohr/status/1732442731715113374
In the tests with my GitHub Action [1] that spawns ephemeral runners for any workflow, I found BuildJet bandwidth speed 10 to 20 times slower than machines at AWS.
