    CI time. Do you want to micromanage your own docker images for all your CI? Great! If not, yes you do. In fact, you want to manage a docker image to build a docker image to use for CI. Use cargo-chef to prepare a build image with your dependencies pre-built if you want to do fine-grained build/test pipelines. Oh also, there's no jUnit test report generation, that was killed off today. (YES, SORRY, I'm still salty.)
  • Rust and Next.js everywhere?
    2 projects | /r/rust | 26 Apr 2023
    Have you looked at cargo-chef? It supposedly speeds up compilation times if you're using Docker.
  • Exploring the problem of faster Cargo Docker builds
    4 projects | /r/rust | 30 Mar 2023
    A tool already exists for this called Cargo-chef, and it works extremely well.
  • Deploying Rust APIs | What Is Your Favorite Method?
    3 projects | /r/rust | 28 Mar 2023
    At work I've use Dockerfile and cargo-chef to improve build times. You can also look into buildkit cache mounts, but this approach is rarely super effective on hosted CI because they start from scratch on most runs. In the context of Rust specifically you may also see the target directory reflect unbounded data growth if it's reused over and over across revisions. because cargo by default won't expire older intermediate artifacts. Cargo-sweep can help with that but I wouldn't pursue this in a CI effort. This will affect both "native" builds and buildkit cache mounts if you're persisting the target directory.
  • How to write a GitHub Action in Rust

    We create an empty Rust binary with cargo new, this is a simple way to get Docker layer caching to work. For a more robust solution, you may want to check out cargo-chef.
  • Crafting container images without Dockerfiles
    20 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 6 Feb 2023
    If this ends up being a cleaner/easier way to having to workaround super expensive rebuilds for Rust given cache + deps compared to this https://github.com/LukeMathWalker/cargo-chef , reading this thread will have been a huge win for me (and hopefully others).

    Whether introducing Bazel is easier/worth it, subjective I guess.

  • Is it possible to get fast Rust compiles in a Docker container?
    11 projects | /r/rust | 28 Dec 2022
    I did a talk (slides here) about this a few years ago, it took a bit of work to get the build caching working with cargo. As others have pointed out, there is now cargo chef to solve this problem so you probably don't have to deal with the issues I saw, but I thought it still might be helpful context.
  • Faster CI builds for Rust with pre-baked builder images and sccache
    1 project | /r/rust | 16 Dec 2022
    I'm curious if you've tried out cargo-chef, I've had some decent improvements with it but I wonder how it stacks up to the sccache approach (don't have the time to try it out myself right now).
  • 2 years of fiddling with Rust – critical thoughts

    for CI have you tried to use buildkit persistent runners with caching + https://github.com/LukeMathWalker/cargo-chef ?
  • How to speed up the Rust compiler in July 2022
    7 projects | /r/rust | 19 Jul 2022
    If you're deploying Rust with Docker I can tell you that cargo-chef is invaluable. With zero work it caches the dependency fetch and compilation steps. Most of the time the ens Docker deploy is closer to an incremental compile than full.
