Managed remote build cache for modern engineering teams

Build once. Reuse everywhere.

One managed remote cache for Nx, Lerna, Turborepo, Gradle, and Bazel. Reuse build artifacts across CI and developer machines without running cache infrastructure.

Free for individual developers. No credit card - sign in with Google and connect in about five minutes.

  • No repository access - configured outputs only
  • Hashed, workspace-scoped, revocable tokens
  • Read-only tokens for untrusted pull requests
Why Cachely

Faster builds without another service to operate

Cachely focuses on the remote cache layer: native protocols, managed storage, useful insights, and clear access controls.

Skip repeated work

CI runners and developer laptops share one warm cache, so unchanged tasks finish from cache instead of rebuilding.

See the impact

Track hit rate, slow tasks, estimated CI minutes, and cost saved instead of guessing whether caching works.

Keep untrusted builds read-only

Scoped tokens let pull requests reuse artifacts without writing new ones, reducing cache-poisoning risk.

Free agent skill

Check the architecture before adding more of it

Give your coding agent one prompt for an evidence-backed review of repository shape, project boundaries, build tooling, and cache readiness.

One prompt. Read-only.

Check my repository architecture

Cachely Repo Check maps dependency, deployment, and task graphs, identifies actual consumers, recommends the minimum sufficient build framework, and finds code that should be extracted, folded back, or left alone.

  • Dependency graph
  • Monorepo fit
  • Framework fit
  • Library vs service
  • Cache readiness

How it works

A shared build cache in three steps

No agents, storage credentials, or cache servers to provision.

  1. 01

    Create a workspace

    Sign in, create a workspace, and issue a token with the access your build needs.

  2. 02

    Connect your build tool

    Add the cache URL and token to your local config and CI secrets.

  3. 03

    Reuse every cache hit

    A build uploads once. Matching tasks restore the same artifact on every runner and laptop.

One cold build seeds the cache. Every other machine - CI or laptop - replays the same artifacts instead of rebuilding.
Measured impact

70%+ cache reuse observed across active workspaces

The dashboard turns cache activity into hit rate, slowest tasks, and estimated CI time and cost saved. The three figures above are observed across real workspaces; the charts and task names are an example, not live telemetry.

Native protocol support

One remote cache for every build system

Use the integration your build tool already understands. Each guide covers setup, CI configuration, and protocol behavior.

Security

A clear trust boundary for build artifacts

A remote cache belongs inside your CI security model. Cachely makes access explicit without giving builds direct bucket access.

Configured artifacts, not repository access

Your cache client sends the task outputs you configure. Cachely never clones or connects to your repository.

Workspace-scoped access

Tokens are hashed, scoped to one workspace, and independently revocable. Build jobs never receive direct storage credentials.

Safer pull request caching

Read-only tokens let untrusted builds fetch known artifacts without uploading poisoned results.

Review the security overview or read the cache-poisoning guide.

FAQ

Remote build cache questions

Is Cachely an Nx Cloud alternative?
No - it is not a replacement for Nx Cloud and does not try to be. Nx Cloud is a full platform (distributed task execution and cloud runners). Cachely is just the managed Nx self-hosted remote cache - the cache backend you would otherwise build and run yourself - with ROI reporting, tool insights, and build optimization suggestions on top, at flat usage-based pricing.
Does using Cachely expose me to the Nx cache-poisoning attack (CVE-2025-36852)?
No, when you scope tokens correctly. Issue read-only tokens to pull-request and fork builds so they can read the cache but never write to it - Cachely enforces that at the API, so untrusted builds cannot seed a poisoned artifact.
Does Cachely store my source code?
Cachely does not connect to or clone your repository. Your configured cache client sends task outputs and content hashes. Those outputs can include source-derived files if your build configuration declares them as cache outputs, so review that configuration before uploading.
Where does Cachely store my artifacts?
Today, on fully managed Cloudflare R2 - zero setup, included in the subscription.
Does it work locally and in CI?
Both. The same token mechanism works on a developer laptop and in CI, so a cache filled by one is reused by the other.
How do I invalidate or purge the cache?
Nx cache keys are content-hashed, so changing a task's inputs automatically produces a new key - stale results are never served. Revoke a token to cut access immediately, and managed cache objects auto-expire after their retention window.
What if a cached artifact is missing or corrupted?
A miss is just an HTTP 404 - your build tool rebuilds the task locally and re-uploads the result. The cache never blocks or breaks a build.
Does Cachely work with Gradle?
Yes. Cachely implements the Gradle HTTP Build Cache protocol. Point buildCache.remote at the Cachely cache host with your workspace token as the HTTP Basic password (the username is ignored), enable org.gradle.caching, and Gradle task outputs are shared across machines and CI just like Nx and Turborepo artifacts.
Does Cachely work with Bazel?
Yes. Cachely implements the Bazel HTTP remote cache protocol (action cache and CAS). Set --remote_cache to the Cachely cache host and pass your workspace token with --remote_header="Authorization=Bearer <token>" in .bazelrc, and Bazel action results are shared across machines and CI just like Nx, Turborepo, and Gradle artifacts.
Does Cachely work with Lerna?
Yes. Modern Lerna uses Nx for task scheduling and caching. Enable caching for the tasks in nx.json, set the two self-hosted remote cache variables covered in the Nx remote cache guide, and lerna run uses Cachely through the existing Nx remote cache protocol.
How is pricing calculated?
A flat subscription priced on storage and network usage, with no per-seat or per-workspace fees. Add every developer, bot, CI actor, and workspace without watching the bill.
How is ROI calculated?
Cachely multiplies each task's historical cold run time by how often it was served from cache, so you see the build minutes and dollars the cache saved.
Is self-hosting available?
Today artifacts live on managed Cloudflare R2. For teams that need a fully dedicated deployment, reach out at hello@cachely.dev and we will talk through it.
