Dryden presents CarbonRunner.io - A CI/CD scheduler for GitHub Actions that auto-picks the lowest carbon region.

  • In 2024, over +150 million devs, ran over 10.54 Billion compute minutes on GitHub Actions.

    • That is a lot of minutes :slight_smile:

  • A one line replacement in your Actions file gets you started - At an even lower cost than the paid tier in GitHub Actions

  • Savings can be 10x and more in operational carbon

  • Uses infrastructure from AWS, Google Cloud or even Heata (which is a heat re-use data center provider that can leverage even more carbon savings)
