Dagger: a new way to build CI/CD pipelines

You still need to manage the size of your cache, since in theory it can grow infinitely. But it’s a different problem than managing regular Docker images, because there are no named references to worry about: just blobs that may or may not be reused in the future. The penalty for removing the “wrong” blob is a possible cache miss, not a broken image.

Dagger currently doesn’t help you remove blobs from your cache, but if/when it does, it will work the same way regardless of where the blobs are stored (except for the blob storage driver).

Is there a task runtime stat for a blob pruning task?

This sounds like memoization caching: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memoization

> In computing, memoization or memoisation is an optimization technique used primarily to speed up computer programs by storing the results of expensive function calls and returning the cached result when the same inputs occur again.

Can Dagger cache the (layer/task-merged) SBOM for all of the {CodeMeta, SEON OWL} schema.org/Thing s?
