Uploading caches time

[Hardeep]

Using the cache for node as well as a docker service in the container and I noticed that it takes quite a while on "Uploading Caches". Enough time to make my build fail. Anyone have a similar issue?

Hi @Hardeep,

could you explain a bit more how the build fails on uploading caches? Are you hitting the timeout of the build? 

[Hardeep]

Yes, that's exactly it. My node cache is around 30-40mb so I'm wondering if it's the docker cache. I'm using the ubuntu image which can be a bit heavy once it's built. Although it pushes to ecs relatively quickly. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Docker image caching is now an opt-in feature. Are you still having issues with timeouts?

[Hardeep]

Things are running great!

@Philip Hodder Upon opting in, I notice my Docker caches are a modest 500 Mb. They still take more time than fresh builds just due to the downloading time for the cache itself.

Is this expected/acknowledged as a problem, or is my use-case for caching invalid? My pipeline takes around 8 min and I was expecting caching to bring that down by a solid 3-5 minutes.
