Could you build this?

No Depot CI API requires hyperscale cloud build infrastructure, distributed BuildKit daemons, custom remote storage layers, and managed hardware execution pools across Intel and Arm architectures.

What it would actually take: Building Depot necessitates deep container runtime expertise, managing fleets of high-performance Bare-Metal and VM instances, custom overlay filesystems, and distributed network caches that outperform standard Docker builds. It requires custom containerd/BuildKit patches, multi-tenant wireguard networking, and an elastic orchestrator to handle bursty CI workloads.
