Optimizing Cache Usage in Docker Builds
summary
Shows that reordering Dockerfile steps yields concrete savings by copying dependencies first so later code changes reuse the dependency layer instead of reinstalling them, explains using mount=type=cache with BuildKit to persist installs across builds, describes sharing cache via buildx distributed cache or pushing cache to a registry, and gives measurable checks: use docker build --progress=plain plus docker history and timed builds to see layer reuse and actual build-time reduction.
