It's also slow and difficult to cache build artifacts which makes it immensely painful to debug if you have anything of moderate complexity.

Allegedly there's a way to cache image layers and artifacts on Github. I've taken to pushing them to S3 buckets so my CI runs can be incremental where possible.

It's fairly easy to cache folders in Github actions, we use it for node_modules, the refreshed when the package.json file changes.

See [1] actions/cache for more details.

How does this work for build artifacts generated by a docker image? I looked at it awhile back but it didn't fit my use cases.
