More CPU and Memory for Tasks

RWX now supports running tasks with more CPU and memory!

By default, RWX runs your tasks with 2 CPUs and 8 GB RAM, but you can customize this with the agent key on your task at the granularity of a single task in your run definition. That means you can use up to 64 CPUs and 256 GB RAM for CPU or memory intensive tasks and then run less intensive tasks on a smaller agent. It's one advantage among many of defining CI workflows as a directed acyclic graph (DAG).

While many CI platforms offer the ability to define jobs in a DAG, RWX is the only CI platform which defines steps in a DAG.
