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

[image: Median service build times by week]

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](https://render.com/changelog/reduced-median-build-time-for-node-js-services-by-25-percent), [Python](https://render.com/changelog/reduced-median-python-service-build-time-by-27-percent), and [Docker](https://render.com/changelog/reduced-median-docker-image-build-time-by-60-percent).
