GitHub Actions runners for Next.js

Next.js build + type-check + page rendering on a default GitHub-hosted runner makes large apps unusably slow in CI. Cirun runs your Next.js CI on a right-sized cloud VM on your own account — pick AWS, GCP, Azure, Oracle, DigitalOcean, OpenStack or on-prem, billed by your cloud, never per CI minute.

Run Next.js on Cirun Docs

Why this fits

Next.js build + type-check + page rendering on a default GitHub-hosted runner makes large apps unusably slow in CI.
Cirun is cloud-neutral — every supported cloud has at least one SKU that fits Next.js; pick whichever account you already have.
Ephemeral by default — no state from the previous PR leaks into yours, no flaky-cache surprises.
