Detail
What this is
A content-addressed cache shared between CI runners and, optionally, local machines. Builds that have already been done anywhere are fetched rather than repeated.
Who this affects
Teams with slow builds, which is where the benefit is concentrated. Adoption is opt-in and reversible: remove the configuration block and builds go back to how they were.
Updates
Action required
Opt in by adding the cache block to your build configuration
Three lines of configuration, documented in the handbook. Nothing changes until you add them.
