Cache as a team.
Fine-grained distributed caching, accessible from CI and your team's local machines. Builds are perfectly incremental — cache hits even with changed code.
Reuse layers from your team. Never start from scratch again.

"How do these competitors of ours move so fast?! They fix bugs in hours instead of days, they develop new features in days instead of weeks, and their sales cycle is weeks instead of months!?!"
Pro-tip: build a developer experience team that tries out new tools like @depotdev 😉

We switched to @depotdev for building our docker images at @rwx_research. Our build times are twice as fast and integration was impressively easy with their support for GitHub's OIDC token. It's easy to spot when we switched in our CI analytics.

Building a container on my laptop: 19m40s, slow, makes me want to cry.
Building it on @depotdev: 4m42s, speedy, makes me smile. But doesn't heat up my room enough, so I have to wear a jumper.
