Patterns for safe and efficient cache purging in CI/CD pipelines
"There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things."—Phil Karlton In the age of increasingly frequent deploys, edge caching, and Jamstack adoption, caching plays a key role across the software delivery life cycle. In build and CI pipelines, caching compiled assets or dependencies helps reduce compute costs, speed up job runtimes, and lower the environmental impact (regarding energy usage) of repeated builds.
