👋 Welcome to the Stackhero documentation!

Stackhero provides a straightforward GitLab Runner cloud solution that makes running your GitLab CI/CD jobs efficient and hassle-free. Here is what you can expect:

• Unlimited CI/CD minutes: run your pipelines as often as you need, with no per-minute billing or unexpected charges.
• Multiple concurrent jobs: accelerate your development by running several jobs in parallel.
• The Docker executor with Docker-in-Docker support: easily build and push container images as part of your CI/CD process.
• Works seamlessly with both GitLab.com and self-managed GitLab instances.
• A private, dedicated infrastructure with fast NVMe/SSD storage ensures stable and predictable build performance.
• Available in 🇪🇺 Europe and 🇺🇸 USA regions to suit your team's needs.

Save time: you can connect your first GitLab Runner and start running pipelines in just a few minutes!

From your Stackhero dashboard, you can create a new GitLab Runner service and select a plan that fits your workflow. The plan sets your available CPU, RAM, and the number of concurrent jobs (matching the GitLab Runner concurrent setting: how many jobs the runner can process in parallel).

Your runner is ready to use in about 2 minutes.
