Improved

Reduced median service build time by 40% (all runtimes)

Render service builds now run on nodes with faster CPU and disk. These improvements have reduced the median build time for a Render service by 40%, with this reduction reflected across all runtimes:

Before this rollout (week of July 13), median build time was 38 seconds, consistent with prior weeks. Since July 27 (the first full week post-rollout), the highest observed weekly median is 21 seconds, a conservative 40% reduction. Build times remain in this range.

This global build improvement follows recent single-runtime improvements for Node.js, Python, and Docker.
