New record: 1.36 million GitHub Actions jobs in a single day

1,360,000 jobs in a single day. That’s the new record across all RunsOn users.

Six weeks ago we were knocking on the door of 1 million. We didn’t just cross that threshold — we blew past it by 36%.

To put it in perspective: that’s roughly 15.7 jobs launched every second, 24 hours straight. Each one a fresh, ephemeral EC2 instance that spins up, runs, and terminates — no state left behind, no drift, no cleanup.

What’s driving the growth

The jump from 990k to 1.36M isn’t coming from one or two large customers. It’s broad-based:

• New teams onboarding every week, many migrating from GitHub-hosted runners or other self-hosted solutions
• Existing teams scaling up, adding more workflows and parallelizing test suites now that runners are fast and cheap enough to use liberally
• Larger instance types gaining traction — teams discovering that a 30-minute build on a 2-vCPU runner becomes a 6-minute build on a 16-vCPU one, and it costs less overall

Why teams keep choosing RunsOn

1. Up to 10x cheaper than GitHub-hosted runners
2. Faster builds thanks to better hardware and VPC-local caching
3. Your AWS account, your data — no code or secrets leave your infrastructure
4. Minutes to set up with a single CloudFormation stack
5. Zero maintenance — ephemeral runners mean no server management

What’s next

We’re not slowing down. The roadmap includes continued performance improvements, more observability, and making the setup experience even smoother.

Thank you to every team running their CI/CD on RunsOn. You’re the reason these numbers keep climbing.
