sccache
Sccache is a ccache-like tool. It is used as a compiler wrapper and avoids compilation when possible. Sccache has the capability to utilize caching in remote storage environments, including various cloud storage options, or alternatively, in local storage. (by mozilla)

Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Migrating Your Open Source Builds Off Of Travis CI
Another interesting option if you are feeling adventurous is using AWS lambda as your build executor. I have no idea how feasible this is, however, the gg project from Stanford looks interesting. It attempts to use AWS lambdas for running builds at the maximum possible parallelism.

Building LLVM in 90 seconds using Amazon Lambda
This is very similar to https://github.com/StanfordSNR/gg by Keith Weinstein's group at Stanford. Cool stuff! Have always wondered why Keith's work hasnt made its way into large companies (besides I think Facebook? not sure)

Distcc – distribute builds across multiple machines simultaneously
Running it locally will always be faster as long as your machine is not a bottleneck (#cores, ram, ...). I think the use-case for distcc et al is to enable less-powerful machines to run builds faster by levering other machines. That’s exactly what we use it for at work. Our developers have not-so-powerful laptops and with distcc/icecc they can utilize the power of our build agents in the server room.

Speeding up C++ build times
Use icecream or sccache. sccache supports distributed builds.

Mozilla sccache: cache with cloud storage
Worth noting that the first commit in sccache git repository was in 2014 (https://github.com/mozilla/sccache/commit/115016e0a83b290dc2...). So I suppose that what "happened" happened waay back.

Target file are very huge and running out of storage on mac.
If you have lots of shared dependencies, maybe try sccache?

S3 Express Is All You Need
I'm going to set up sccache [0] to use it tomorrow. We use MSVC, so EFS is off the cards.

Serde has started shipping precompiled binaries with no way to opt out
I think the primary benefit of pre-built procmacros will be for build servers which don't use a persistent cache (like sccache), since they have to compile all dependencies every time. But IMO improved support for persistent caches would be a better investment compared to adding support for pre-built procmacros.

Distcc: A fast, free distributed C/C++ compiler
https://github.com/mozilla/sccache is another option which addresses the use cases of both icecream and ccache (and also supports Rust, and cloud storage of artifacts, if those are useful for you)

How to fix Rust Coding LARGE files????
That being said a compilation cache, eg the de-facto standard for Rust: sccache (https://github.com/mozilla/sccache) will help to compile and store some of the build artifacts centralized - still for each crate version + build profile (RUSTFLAGS) combination.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing gg and sccache you can also consider the following projects:
icecream - Distributed compiler with a central scheduler to share build load
ccache - ccache – a fast compiler cache
zapcc - zapcc is a caching C++ compiler based on clang, designed to perform faster compilations
cargo-chef - A cargo-subcommand to speed up Rust Docker builds using Docker layer caching.
Buildkite - The Buildkite Agent is an open-source toolkit written in Go for securely running build jobs on any device or network
rust-cache - A GitHub Action that implements smart caching for rust/cargo projects
Phoenix - Peace of mind from prototype to production
cache - Cache dependencies and build outputs in GitHub Actions
