Comment on Reverse engineering GitHub Actions cache to make it fast

Comments

At this point this is considered a baseline feature of every good GitHub Actions third-party provider, but nice to see the write-up and solution they came up with!

Note that GitHub Actions Cache v2 is actually very good in terms of download/upload speed right now, when running from GitHub managed runners. The low speed Blacksmith was seeing before is just due to their slow (Hetzner?) network.

I benchmarked most providers (I maintain RunsOn) with regards to their cache performance here: https://runs-on.com/benchmarks/github-actions-cache-performa...

Also note this open-source project that shows a way to implement this: https://github.com/falcondev-oss/github-actions-cache-server
