About:
Actions-batch transforms GitHub Actions runners into a distributed, time-shared supercomputer for executing massive parallel workloads. It orchestrates and schedules batch jobs across multiple runners without requiring dedicated infrastructure. This provides a cost-effective and scalable solution for high-throughput computing tasks using existing GitHub Actions minutes.

Key Features:

Massive parallelism across GitHub Actions runners
No dedicated infrastructure required
Cost-effective batch processing using existing CI minutes
Distributed job orchestration and scheduling

Use Cases:

Large-scale data processing and ETL pipelines
Running extensive test suites in parallel
Distributed compilation tasks
Batch rendering or encoding jobs

Alternatives:

GitHub Actions Matrix Strategy – Limited by job count limits and workflow complexity; actions-batch provides better orchestration for massive parallel workloads
AWS Batch / Google Cloud Run Jobs – Requires separate cloud accounts and billing; actions-batch leverages existing GitHub infrastructure
Self-hosted runners – Requires maintaining infrastructure; actions-batch uses GitHub-hosted runners for zero maintenance
