About:
cargo-chef is a Cargo subcommand that optimizes Docker builds for Rust projects. It analyzes your project's dependency graph to create a layer containing only your dependencies, allowing them to be cached and reused between builds. This dramatically speeds up development iteration by avoiding recompiling unchanged dependencies.
Key Features:
  • Intelligent dependency layering for Docker
  • Seamless integration with existing Cargo workflows
  • Significantly reduces build times in CI/CD pipelines
  • Supports both cooking and preparing build steps
Use Cases:
  • Optimizing Docker image builds for Rust applications
  • Reducing CI/CD pipeline execution time
  • Improving developer productivity during containerized development
Alternatives:
  • cargo-build-deps – Less sophisticated approach that may not handle all dependency scenarios as robustly
  • Manual Docker layer caching – Requires more boilerplate and manual optimization, error-prone
