Working on making this change this week. Current beta still caches node_modules

Luke•9/5/23, 6:20 PM

Hello! I see only Next.js and Gatsby are supported so far. I have a few Vite projects and Nuxt projects I could test with once they're supported

James•9/6/23, 11:02 AM

Are y’all planning on landing this before adding more folks to the beta? Excited to see this rolling out!

simpson•9/6/23, 7:16 PM

how do we tell if caching is enabled on our account?

Ssimpson how do we tell if caching is enabled on our account?

itsmatteomanf•9/6/23, 7:17 PM

There should be a message pretty soon after the build starts, in the logs, that is fetching the cache, and one at the end that is saving it (or skipping it for some reason)

JacobOP•9/7/23, 3:37 PM

Adding more users shortly - expecting dependency cache changes by EOW!
Edit: Probably more like early next week. Possibly Astro support soon too

JacobOP•9/8/23, 6:56 PM

Just pushed an update - dependency caching now caches global npm/yarn caches. Thanks again for the feedback @James

JacobOP•9/8/23, 6:56 PM

Users who have submitted projects the last few days will be enabled in a bit

Do note that with the change in cache strategy, your previous caches will no longer match

JacobOP•9/8/23, 9:27 PM

Astro support is now live party_blob

JJacob Astro support is now live <a:party_blob:818919990635266079>

itsmatteomanf•9/8/23, 9:47 PM

And... it works?

JacobOP•9/8/23, 9:56 PM

should now!

itsmatteomanf•9/8/23, 9:56 PM

Let me retry!

itsmatteomanf•9/8/23, 9:57 PM

Looks like it does!

JacobOP•9/8/23, 9:59 PM

All users that submitted projects now has build caching enabled for the submitted project. You will need to click

Enable build cache

Enable build cache

in the

Builds and deployments

Builds and deployments

settings.
For the first few users, the build cache toggle is currently ignored. But please enable it, as we will remove the override in the next week or two so that you can turn it on/off as desired.

NOTE: The "Enable build cache" options will show up in all projects, but it will ONLY have any affect on the project(s) you submitted.
Also: The

Clear cache

Clear cache

button won't work until early next week.

Thanks!

simpson•9/9/23, 11:37 AM

Do we have to make any code changes on our side to reference the cache? I enabled it and it looks to work from what I see but it looks like my builds are the same or maybe a little slower

Nope, no code changes... the cache takes some time, so for very fast installs it won't change much, unfortunately.

latest build is 2m 26s uncached at Cloudflare, 49s cached at Netlify

josh•9/14/23, 11:41 PM

this is a middleman site (quite similar to jekyll, should use the same ruby/node caching approach)

JacobOP•9/15/23, 12:25 AM

JacobOP•9/20/23, 4:50 AM

A bit but nothing planned yet. This first iteration is intended to be very safe for most projects, at the cost of a few more cache misses. How often do you change your dependencies?

JacobOP•9/20/23, 4:52 AM

What would you prefer as the cache key?

itsmatteomanf•9/20/23, 7:43 AM

It’s not the changing of dependencies (it happens often now as I am building the website, but will most likely lower), but the updates. Astro releases an update a week, add other packages and it’s very often.

JJacob What would you prefer as the cache key?

itsmatteomanf•9/20/23, 7:45 AM

Do we need a cache key for the output cache? I get dependencies, might make sense, although I am not sure what Netlify does, for example… but the cache output is handled by each package.

JacobOP•9/20/23, 1:52 PM

What if you have a different branch with vastly different settings? Maybe we could use the branch as a cache key instead? What if you change frameworks? (I guess we could rely on you hitting the Clear Cache button for that?)

JacobOP•9/20/23, 1:56 PM

We were trying to avoid users having to hit Clear Cache and having things just work.

JacobOP•9/20/23, 1:56 PM

But we weren't thinking about users updating deps every week

itsmatteomanf•9/20/23, 3:17 PM

Oh, yeah. Branches for sure, I wasn’t gonna even mention that.

JacobOP•9/20/23, 3:24 PM

I wonder what would be a good way to surface that "hey you should probably clear your cache once in a while if you make big changes." Like I'd hate to be downloading/uploading 300MB of extra junk that's no longer used on every build

JJacob I wonder what would be a good way to surface that "hey you should probably clear...

itsmatteomanf•9/20/23, 3:25 PM

Maybe some sort of diff in the package.json? If it changes too much give a nudge? I don’t know…

JacobOP•9/20/23, 3:27 PM

I want to add more config later - cache keys will probably be part of that. The current "play it super safe" approach will unfortunately come with some increased cache misses

JacobOP•9/20/23, 3:27 PM

The hope is that it will still save users some build time if they build a lot. We can improve more edge cases in the future
