Caching done smartly

Avoid building everything from scratch using Harness Intelligence.

Incremental Builds

Which features enable Incremental Builds?

Build Intelligence

Cache build outputs from Gradle and Bazel

Build Intelligence accelerates build time by 30-40% by avoiding expensive build output (compiled classes, test results, etc.) rebuilds and using unchanged build outputs from cache. Harness CI manages the cache so that developers can leverage local and remote cache and improve efficiency across teams.

Docker Layer Caching

Cache docker layers

With Docker Layer Caching (DLC), Harness CI seamlessly caches Docker layers between builds to accelerate the time it takes to build Docker images on ANY build infrastructure.

Cache Intelligence

Cache software dependencies

With Cache Intelligence, Harness CI automatically caches and restores software dependencies to speed up your builds for ANY build infrastructure - hassle free.

ACCELERATE DEVELOPMENT

Ship faster with high developer productivity

Accelerate build and test cycles

Accelerate build and test cycles by caching build outputs, software dependencies, and docker layers
Ensure hassle free cache management with Harness Cloud build infrastructure
Save on build infrastructure costs because of shorter build cycles

Improve developer experience

Increase developers’ productivity by using locally and remotely cached build outputs and software dependencies
Developers can make code changes without rebuilding the unchanged parts of the codebase
Remote caching enables a shared cache which decreases build times across teams making developers productive at scale

Secure build environments

Secure your build environments by making sure that they can only access cache using SSL/TLS and in an authenticated way
Use Harness Cloud to make sure that your builds are tamper proof (SLSA L3 compliance)

Onboard intelligence features easily

Easily enable Test Intelligence, Cache Intelligence, Build Intelligence, and Docker Layer Caching from the UI - no additional configuration required
