Speed up your CI/CD pipelines by caching build & runtime artifacts

Thijs Feryn

Are slow dependency pulls choking your CI/CD pipelines? Discover how an intelligent local caching proxy slashes wait times by 40% while instantly blocking software supply chain attacks.

#1 about 5 min

The fragility of modern software supply chains

Software composition, microservices, and rapid deployment cycles drastically increase the volume of artifacts required for application delivery.

#2 about 3 min

Platform pressure and rate limiting challenges

Centralized artifact registries face immense strain from automated workflows and generative AI, resulting in aggressive rate limits and delays.

#3 about 4 min

Reversing the caching model for artifact delivery

Utilizing an HTTP reverse caching proxy shifts focus from accelerating web traffic to optimizing artifact downloads for build pipelines.

#4 about 2 min

Operational and financial benefits of artifact caching

Localized dependency delivery reduces network latency, lowers cloud infrastructure egress bills, and mitigates downtime from upstream registry outages.

#5 about 5 min

Project Orca and protocol-aware virtual registries

Implementing a protocol-aware virtual registry enables transparent caching for standard package management commands without requiring complex workflow modifications.

#6 about 4 min

Hyper-localizing cache instances for deployment environments

Deploying cache instances directly within Kubernetes clusters or self-hosted runners drastically slashes external data transfers and developer wait times.

#7 about 3 min

Core architectural requirements for a virtual registry

An effective artifact cache must handle protocol specifics, securely preserve authorization tokens, and support multi-registry routing for maximum reliability.

#8 about 5 min

Implementing security controls via artifact firewalls

Integrating a dynamic firewall at the caching layer actively blocks known compromised packages during the deployment fetch phase.

#9 about 2 min

Audience questions on cache sharing and pipelines

A brief discussion covering cache clustering across pipelines and native integration plans for self-hosted GitHub Actions workflows.
