In the previous blog post I described how to define GitHub Actions pipeline to benefit from caching Rust dependencies and container images’ layers. But the final result may also depend on your Dockerfile. Namely, Docker Buildx Action supports BuildKit and buildx and in order to benefit from this, your Dockerfile has to explicitly cache layers. Actually, this is quite easy to achieve, let’s see the example:
