Data Handling

What data WorkerRun receives, processes, and stores.

What WorkerRun Receives

When a workflow is triggered, WorkerRun receives a GitHub webhook payload containing event metadata: the pull request number, commit SHA, repository name, and event type. This is the same payload any GitHub App receives for subscribed events.

What WorkerRun Stores

No job data, logs, code, or secrets are persisted by WorkerRun.

Job-related data — webhook payloads, repository code, workflow logs, and secrets — is processed entirely in memory and discarded when the job completes. Job logs are streamed directly to GitHub (via Azure Blob) and are visible only in the GitHub Actions UI. WorkerRun does not retain logs, artifacts, or user code.

WorkerRun does store a minimal set of operational data to power the dashboard and billing:

Webhook Payloads

Webhook payloads are received over HTTPS and processed in memory. In V8 Isolation Mode, they are processed within the V8 isolate and discarded when the isolate is destroyed. In Container Mode, they are handled by the Durable Object and discarded when the container is destroyed. No part of the payload is written to persistent storage at any point during processing.
