Full transcript & pilot commands
Recorded on Node.js 22.23.1, 21 October 2026. These three local sample tests do not measure the hosted pilot. Replay runs no commands. The displayed bw demo used the executable on PATH; a downloaded file runs as ./bw demo.
chmod +x ./bw && ./bw demo
For Windows or a non-executable download, use node ./bw demo. Node.js 22 or later is required.

Keep the checks.
Choose the infrastructure.
Use the tests and builds your team already trusts. Buildwake connects them to isolated workers, commit statuses and readable logs.
The pilot runs beside existing CI. Self-service onboarding, deployment migration and production-scale availability are still ahead.
The pilot, measured.
14 seconds less.
10 seconds more.
In this pilot pair, warm test steps finished 9–10 seconds sooner. One build step finished 14 seconds sooner; the other took 10 seconds longer. Two applications. Six workflows. One cold/warm pair per workflow.

Methodology & limits
One observed pair, not a guarantee. 4 CPU quota, 6 GiB memory limit, one workflow at a time. Only npm/Bun downloads carried over; both phases reran full installs, builds and tests with fresh databases where used.
The Next.js marketing app compiler took 96 seconds in both phases. Its build-step improvement came from other work. Different hardware and cache policies prevent a controlled comparison with GitHub Actions. Deployment speed was not measured.

Three tests.
Download bw and try it on your machine. No signup. No server to configure.
Download bw Installation guidechmod +x ./bw ./bw demo
Download bw first, then run the command. Requires Node.js 22 or later.
Windows or a non-executable file: node ./bw demo
Early CLI: local demo, pilot build status and logs. No deployment command.
