Do you have any experience with stitching in a compiler cache here? Is it profitable or is it more complexity than it's worth?


Not really worth it on our build since compilation is not that slow. In my experience, you get the biggest time savings from optimizing the process of gathering dependencies and making tests and deployments faster.

With other languages that build dependencies from source, doing that in a separate docker build step would probably be a good idea so you can cache the results as a separate docker layer.
