Could you build this?

No The product is a CI runner that is 10x+ faster than GitHub-hosted runners, which depends on specialized hardware, optimized virtualization or isolation infrastructure, and compatibility with GitHub Actions semantics at scale.

What it would actually take: Building a real version means a runner orchestration service with fast microVM or container isolation, aggressive caching and disk I/O optimization, and high-performance bare-metal or NVMe hardware. Getting identical results to GitHub-hosted runners requires deep systems and CI infrastructure expertise, plus large capital investment in compute.
