Pay per vCPU-second
Heavy compute bills at Cloudflare Container rates — per vCPU-second, scaled to zero between runs — instead of per GitHub Actions minute. The jobs that dominate a CI bill move to the cheapest place to run them.
FlareDispatch moves agentic code review, Playwright e2e, acceptance suites, sharded matrices and security scans off GitHub-hosted runners and onto Cloudflare — billed per vCPU-second in your own account. Trigger a run from a workflow step or a cron schedule, or install the GitHub App and let runs fire on every PR with zero Actions minutes.

No 6-hour job limit: each run declares its own wall-time ceiling. No 10 GB cache cap: the dependency cache lives in your R2 bucket. Artifact retention is yours to set.
In webhook mode the GitHub App fires runs on every PR with no workflow file and zero Actions minutes. In Action mode a workflow step dispatches the run, for jobs that interleave with the rest of a pipeline. Either way the verdict lands as a check-run.
An agentic review is mostly LLM I/O: the run waits on the model while the vCPU idles. GitHub Actions bills that wait by the wall-clock minute. FlareDispatch bills container vCPU-seconds, and the model wait runs in a Workflow step that accrues no container time — so a run pays for its activeslivers, here about a fifth of it.
Hosted runners are easy but bill per minute under hard ceilings. Self-hosted and hybrid runners lift the ceilings and hand you a fleet to operate. FlareDispatch runs on serverless Cloudflare primitives in an account you already own.

pr-review fans a diff out to per-domain reviewers, or one generalist, and posts a single verdict with a severity table and per-finding blob links.
self-heal-pr runs a coding agent in a credential-free sandbox and opens a draft PR only when the repro goes green; spec-drift-pr and improve-pr file their proposals the same way. The Worker holds the App key, never the agent.
Model calls route to Workers AI, Anthropic or Bedrock, chosen per run from KV config with no redeploy. Bedrock signs with SigV4, with no long-lived AWS keys in the Worker.
A FIFO admission gate caps in-flight runs at the pool size, and the check-run shows the queue position while a run waits. Runs that must not overlap declare a serial group.
product-demo drives a deployed app over CDP with session recording; reviewers replay it in an rrweb player linked from the check-run and the result email.
ci-triage-pr reads the vendor-neutral signals/v1 shape from a small adapter on your side — Datadog, SigNoz, HyperDX or your own — so no observability key sits in the Dispatcher.
Progressive offloading.
Move CI one job at a time, heaviest first. GitHub Actions keeps the cheap jobs and the PR gate; nothing is all-or-nothing.
Runs are typed programs, not YAML.
A run is an Effect-TS program: Schema-typed inputs and outputs, durable steps, tagged errors, exhaustive matching. Fork it, edit it, unit-test it without booting a container.
BYOC by construction.
Each organization deploys its own Dispatcher and GitHub App into its own Cloudflare account. There is no multi-tenant operator and no hosted service to trust.
