Servo Collective: 2024 in review
Published on January 20, 2025 by Delan Azabani

Servo has received donations via Open Collective and GitHub Sponsors from 500 different people and organizations in 2024. We’re very grateful to all of you for supporting the Servo project.

In 2024, we raised 33,632.64 USD, from which we’ve spent 471.59 USD. This left us with 33,161.05 USD available at the end of 2024. Our expenses were as follows:

  • Aug 2024: 22.96 USD
  • Sep 2024: 110.14 USD
  • Oct 2024: 115.67 USD
  • Nov 2024: 113.16 USD
  • Dec 2024: 109.66 USD

So far we’ve been using this money to cover hosting costs for self-hosted runners. We've been running one server with Hetzner for around 115 USD/month to speed up our CI times. After some experimentation, we now have faster runners for Linux, macOS, and Windows builds, cutting build times from over an hour to under 30 minutes!

This month, we’ve set up two additional servers to improve CI times even further, which will increase our monthly expenses to ~350 USD/month.

More ideas for how Servo can use this money effectively are being developed in the Servo Technical Steering Committee.

Thanks again everyone for your support!
