I think Kyle answered this below, about the option for enterprises to run the data plane of Depot in their own cloud account. In that model, the Depot CLI connects directly to that data plane without passing through any infrastructure on our side.

> I think we solved it with buildkit cache

One big thing we're doing here, if you're familiar with BuildKit cache, is providing builds a stable cache SSD that's reused between builds. This means we support all of BuildKit's caching features, including things like cache mounts that aren't directly supported in ephemeral CI environments. Plus Depot doesn't need to save or load the cache to a remote store like S3 or GitHub Actions cache, instead the previous cache is immediately available on build start.

This may not be any better or different than what you're doing, I just wanted to mention the detail for anyone familiar with trying to make BuiltKit more performant.
