Casync – A Content-Addressable Data Synchronization Tool
I did PoC experiments with compression, chunking, and IPFS here: https://github.com/SaveTheRbtz/bazel-cache
If you need a mature compression implementation for bazel I would recommend using recent bazel versions w/ gRPC-based bazel-remote: https://github.com/buchgr/bazel-remote
bazel nowadays supports end-to-end compression w/ `--experimental_remote_cache_compression`: https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/pull/14041

Honesty, how are people using bazel in CI
I would rather go with a standalone cache to utilize bazel inceremental builds. Take a look at bazel buildfarm or remote cache (https://github.com/buchgr/bazel-remote). Once you populate cache builds will be very fast.
