Cached Build vs Clean Build
Developers should use Cached Build to accelerate development cycles, especially in large projects with frequent builds or complex dependencies, as it reduces wait times from minutes to seconds meets developers should perform a clean build when encountering persistent build errors, after updating dependencies or toolchains, or before releasing software to guarantee a reproducible and error-free build. Here's our take.
Cached Build
Developers should use Cached Build to accelerate development cycles, especially in large projects with frequent builds or complex dependencies, as it reduces wait times from minutes to seconds
Cached Build
Nice PickDevelopers should use Cached Build to accelerate development cycles, especially in large projects with frequent builds or complex dependencies, as it reduces wait times from minutes to seconds
Pros
- +It's essential for CI/CD systems to improve efficiency and resource usage, and for local development to enable faster iterations and testing
- +Related to: continuous-integration, continuous-deployment
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Clean Build
Developers should perform a clean build when encountering persistent build errors, after updating dependencies or toolchains, or before releasing software to guarantee a reproducible and error-free build
Pros
- +It is essential in continuous integration pipelines to catch issues early and maintain build reliability across team members and deployment environments
- +Related to: continuous-integration, dependency-management
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Cached Build if: You want it's essential for ci/cd systems to improve efficiency and resource usage, and for local development to enable faster iterations and testing and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Clean Build if: You prioritize it is essential in continuous integration pipelines to catch issues early and maintain build reliability across team members and deployment environments over what Cached Build offers.
