Depot vs KakaoCloud Container Registry

Depot provides software delivery tools spanning source control, builds, CI runners, sandboxes, caches, and registries. Its container build service is a drop-in replacement for Docker builds, with persistent caching and native x86 and Arm support. Depot CI runs existing GitHub Actions workflows as a programmable, debuggable CI service, while Depot Registry is an OCI-compliant registry for builds, pull-through caching, and other artifacts. Integrations include GitHub Actions, CircleCI, GitLab CI, Google Cloud Build, Travis CI, Bitbucket Pipelines, Buildkite, Jenkins, and AWS CodeBuild. Cache integrations cover Bazel, Go, Gradle, Maven, Pants, sccache, Nx, and Turborepo. Each build and CI run is isolated in a dedicated virtual machine. Depot says communications use TLS and storage is encrypted at rest; it also identifies SOC 2 Type 2 compliance and time-bound, permission-based debugging access. Plans start at $20 a month, billed monthly, with a 7-day trial and no free plan. Developer includes community support; Business includes Slack Connect support.

KakaoCloud Container Registry is a managed cloud repository for storing and managing Docker container images. It supports standard Docker images and Docker CLI authentication, push, and pull workflows, and integrates with KakaoCloud Kubernetes Engine for managing and deploying images. IAM roles separate repository members, who can push and pull, from viewers, who can pull only. Trivy scans for CVE-based vulnerabilities, either daily or automatically after images are pushed. Users can review image and tag history and recover earlier image versions or deleted tags. Public repositories let KakaoCloud-authenticated users who know the URI pull without separate repository authentication. Default quotas are 1,000 repositories per project, 10,000 images per repository, and 1,000 tags per image; increases can be requested. Storage up to 1 GiB is free; usage beyond that costs 0.14 won per GiB/hour. Outbound traffic includes 30 GiB free; higher usage is billed by tier. The listed plan prices are free for storage and outbound traffic, with VAT excluded.
