Repository-scoped setup
Install the GitHub App for the repos and organizations LayerRail should be allowed to access.
GitHub Actions
Managed runners for serious CI workloads
Connect GitHub, choose repository access, and run workflow jobs on LayerRail-managed compute with cache, usage, and billing visibility.

Clean runner environment per job
Visibility
Usage and project billing context
Key features
Project-aware runners
Runner usage belongs to the project, so cost, ownership, and settings are easier to review.
Cache-ready workflow
LayerRail cache support can speed up repeated workflow jobs without turning CI into another unmanaged surface.
How it works
Each workflow follows the same LayerRail model: choose the service, attach it to a project, confirm the configuration, and keep lifecycle state visible.
01
Connect GitHub
Start from LayerRail, approve the GitHub App installation, and choose the repositories LayerRail can reach.
02
Select runner settings
Configure runner labels, cache behavior, repository access, and project-level permissions.
03
Run workflows
Jobs run through LayerRail-managed workers while usage and billing stay attached to the project.
Common use cases
High-volume CI
Move busy workflow queues onto managed runners without giving up project-level cost visibility.
Private repositories
Use a GitHub App connection so access can be scoped and reviewed.
Build-heavy teams
Keep repeated builds faster with cache-aware workflow support.
