Graphide

Not yet independently verified. Dated from the Y Combinator launch post of 11 November 2026, as the site gives no launch date. The speed figures and the review benchmark are the maker's own measurements. We will update this when it can be confirmed, and remove this note.

When a coding agent pushes, fails and pushes again, every round waits on CI, and Graphide's founders say that loop is where a 30-minute pipeline turns into hours. Their answer is a GitHub Actions runner that a team adopts by changing one line in a workflow, from runs-on: ubuntu-latest to runs-on: graphide.

Where the time goes

Graphide treats a CI run as a critical path of boot, install, compile and the longest test lane, and works on each. Jobs start on machines that are already booted with dependencies and build caches in place; tests are split across many lanes that grow and shrink with the work; and the company patches the kernel, test libraries and compilers it runs. Its launch post reports 24 real jobs from open-source projects, 16 of which finished in under a minute against their own recent GitHub runs, with every test executed.

Pruning is optional. With it switched on, Graphide traces which tests each file can affect, runs only those, and lists every skipped test on the run page with the reason. Each job runs in its own microVM, created for that job and destroyed afterwards.

The reviewer

The second product reads each pull request together with the callers, routes, tables and services it touches and the team's own rules. When it suspects a bug it can run a test against the old and the new code and put the result in its comment. The first ten reviews are free.
