Features

• Compiler Caches - Reduces total build time by storing and reusing compilation results on local or remote storage.
• Compiler Wrappers - Functions as a compiler wrapper that intercepts calls to check for cached artifacts before executing the build.
• Cloud Object Storage - Integrates with S3, Azure, and Google Cloud buckets to provide persistent remote storage for shared compilation data.
• Build Artifact Caching - Persists build artifacts in cloud storage like S3, Redis, or Memcached to share results across machines.
• Distributed Build Systems - Shares build tasks across a network of clients and servers to accelerate compilation through parallel execution.
• Remote Build Caches - Shares cached compilation artifacts across multiple machines and team members using remote backends.
• Build Output Caches - Implements a system that stores and reuses compiler outputs to accelerate repeated Rust build processes.
• Rust Environments - Accelerates the Rust build process by caching module interfaces and object files.
• Compiler Caching for Rust - Provides a specialized caching solution to speed up the compilation of Rust modules and object files.
• Build Result Caching - Stores and reuses compilation results on local or remote storage to eliminate redundant build cycles.
• Path Normalizers - Transforms absolute file paths into relative formats to ensure cache hits across different environments.
• Content-Addressable Caches - Uses content-addressable hashing of command-line arguments and files to identify and retrieve build artifacts.
• Cache Configuration Utilities - Configures storage backends in a tiered hierarchy from fastest to slowest to maximize hit rates.
• Preprocessing Caches - Caches the results of the source file preprocessing phase to speed up the retrieval of final compilation results.
• Cache Isolations - Prevents different compilation runs from sharing the same cache by incorporating unique values into result hashes.
• Build Server Management - Manages server processes that handle compilation requests via shared persistent services or isolated instances.
• Multi-Layered Caching - Organizes storage backends in a hierarchy from fastest to slowest to optimize cache retrieval speed.
• CI Pipeline Optimizers - Optimizes automated CI environments by persisting build artifacts between different workflow runs.
• Storage Backend Integrations - Provides a flexible storage interface integrating WebDAV and cloud providers to store precompiled artifacts.
• Module Caching - Stores precompiled C++20 module interfaces and object files to avoid redundant module compilation.
• GitHub Actions - Provides a specialized backend to store and purge compilation results within GitHub Actions workflows.
• Storage Abstractions - Implements a common interface to decouple caching logic from various local and remote storage providers.
• Databases & Data - Shared compilation cache for faster builds.
• Build Systems - Compiler cache with cloud storage support.
