  • Show HN: FlakeHub Cache: Fast, secure, configurable. A new take on Nix caching
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 13 Mar 2024
    I've been trying to gradually introduce Nix more into my development.[0]

    One roadblock I haven't been able to overcome is integrating Nix in CI. In my case, I use CircleCI. I know there are Nix-centric CI platforms, but I've invested a lot into CircleCI and would like to stay.

    The problem I hit is that if I switch from something like a sqlfluff Docker container to a Nix Docker container, my build job goes from 15s to 2m+ because now I have to download several gigs within the CI job and build my Nix environment from scratch.[1]

    I tried Cachix, but the best I could get was bringing the job down to 55s (a roughly 3x performance penalty from an off-the-shelf Docker container).[2]

    How does FlakeHub Cache's performance in CI compare to the default Nux cache or to Cachix?
