Every Frame gets its own build cache that survives between deploys. It’s how a rebuild of an app you tweaked one line of finishes in seconds instead of starting from scratch.

What’s cached

The cache is a single persistent volume per Frame, 5Gi by default, mounted into the build. You don’t manage it; Nubo creates it on first deploy.

Cache hits in the wild

A cold build of a simple Go service: 30 to 60 seconds. A warm rebuild of the same service after a one-line change: usually under 15 seconds, often single-digit. Go modules don’t re-download, packages don’t re-compile from source, and unchanged image layers don’t re-upload to the registry.

When the cache misses

A cache miss is fine; the build still works. Common reasons it happens:
  • First build. The cache is empty.
  • Lockfile changed. Added a new dependency? Its sources need to be fetched once.
  • Manual reset. Delete the Frame and start over and you get a fresh cache.

Concurrent builds

Your plan sets how many builds can run at once. Push while you’re already at the limit and the new build is turned away with a “concurrent build limit reached” message (HTTP 429); it isn’t queued, so wait for a running build to finish and push again. A build that’s been running for more than 60 minutes is treated as stale and stops counting against your limit, so a stuck build can never block your next push forever.

Custom caching needs

You can’t configure the cache today (its 5Gi size and paths are fixed). If you have a use case that doesn’t fit the defaults, let us know at support@withnubo.com.
