Benchmarks

Here are some benchmarks that compare the performance and cost of GitHub-hosted runners and Sprinters-powered AWS runners.

By default, the following configurations are used:

Provider vCPUs RAM (GiB) Temp (GiB)
github-4vcpu GitHub 4 16 14
sprinters-mxl AWS m7i-flex.xlarge 4 16 14
sprinters-c4xl AWS c7i-flex.4xlarge 16 32 14

Also note:

  • EC2 instances launched in the us-east-1 region.
  • EBS volumes are gp3 with 3000 IOPS and 150 MiB/s throughput.
  • Spot savings are calculated based on the historical average for this instance type in this region.
  • If a configuration differs from the ones above, the different setting sill be shown in the benchmark.
