I found that implementing a local cache on the runners has been helpful. Ingress/egress on local network is hella slow, especially when each build has ~10-20GB of artifacts to manage.

What do you use for the local cache?

		Just wrote about my approach yesterday: https://jeffverkoeyen.com/blog/2025/12/15/SlotWarmedCaching/ tl;dr uses a local slot-based cache that is pre-warmed after every merge to main, taking Sidecar builds from ~10-15 minutes to <60 seconds.
