Build Cache: Cut build times by up to 83%
Never build the same thing twice. Build Cache eliminates redundant compilation across Gradle, Bazel, and Xcode on any CI, including your local machine.
Redundant build work is slowing you down
Every time your CI recompiles unchanged modules, it's burning time and money. Redundant work means slow feedback loops, frustrated engineers, and low confidence in your release pipeline.
Build Cache fixes this by storing and reusing outputs from previous builds, so only code that has changed gets compiled. Less waiting. Faster feedback. And no more wasted CI minutes.
Why teams choose Bitrise Build Cache
Up to 83% faster builds
Cache and reuse Gradle tasks, Bazel actions, and Xcode compilation outputs. Our benchmarks showed that Build Cache reduced CircleCI build times by up to 83% for Bazel and 72% for Gradle.
Works where you build
Build Cache is CI-agnostic: use it with GitHub Actions, CircleCI, or any other platform. And if you're already on Bitrise CI? Cache storage is co-located with your build machines, so you get near-zero latency and no egress fees.
Deep analytics
Track cache hit rate, invocation count, upload/download throughput, and failure rate. Set alerts so you know when cache performance drops and get a clear side-by-side comparison view to debug regressions.
Let AI do the heavy-lifting on optimization
When you’re debugging a performance regression, half the battle is manually scanning through build logs. With Build Cache, you get an instant AI summary of the key differences between two invocations, plus recommended optimizations: so you can jump straight to fixing.
Included with all Build Cache plans. No extra credits required.
Built for Gradle, Bazel, and Xcode
Gradle
Cache task outputs so subsequent builds skip what hasn't changed. With Gradle Configuration Cache support, even the configuration phase gets cached: so if no build scripts or inputs have changed, Gradle skips it entirely.
Bazel
Distribute build and test actions across remote machines with Remote Build Execution. Teams share a common pool of cached outputs, so everyone benefits from work that's already been done.
Xcode
Cache archive, build, and test-compile actions for Xcode projects on any CI runner. No dependency on Apple's own infrastructure, no proprietary lock-in, and no rebuilding what your teammate already compiled.
Enterprise-grade security, fully managed infrastructure
No self-hosted cache infrastructure to secure, maintain, or scale. We handle all of it.
All cache data is protected with AES-256-GCM envelope encryption at rest. Data encryption keys are wrapped by a key encryption key managed in an external KMS, rotated every 90 days. Fully compliant with GDPR, SOC 2, and ISO/IEC 27001.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main benefits of Build Cache?
Faster builds, shorter feedback loops, and lower CI costs. Build Cache stores and reuses outputs from previous build tasks, so only the code that changed gets compiled. Teams typically see 50–83% reductions in build time.
What measurable build time reductions can I expect?
Results vary by project size and cache hit rate, but in benchmarks run on independent open-source projects, Bitrise Build Cache reduced Bazel build times by 83% and Gradle by 72% on CircleCI. Most teams see meaningful improvements (at least 50%) right away, before any optimizations.
Which build systems and CI tools are supported?
Build Cache supports Gradle (including Configuration Cache), Bazel (including Remote Build Execution), and Xcode. It works on any CI platform — Bitrise CI, GitHub Actions, CircleCI, Jenkins, and more — as well as local development environments.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. All plans include a 30-day free trial. You can get started directly from the Bitrise dashboard.
How is the cache data secured?
All cache data is encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. Encryption keys are managed in an external KMS and rotated every 90 days. Bitrise Build Cache is compliant with GDPR, SOC 2, and ISO/IEC 27001.
Can I use Build Cache with a CI provider other than Bitrise?
Yes, Enterprise and Enterprise+ plans are CI-agnostic. The Pro plan is exclusively available to Bitrise CI customers.
Can I use Build Cache for local development?
Yes. Enterprise+ includes local invocations, connecting your local dev machine to the same shared cache as your CI. That means you benefit from builds your teammates have already run, and vice versa.
