About:
Octobuild is a compiler cache designed specifically for Unreal Engine development. It accelerates build times by caching the results of compilation tasks, such as shader and C++ compilations. This significantly reduces iteration time for developers working on large-scale Unreal Engine projects.
Key Features:
  • Caches Unreal Engine shader compilations (e.g., HLSL to SPIR-V/GLSL)
  • Supports C++ compilation caching via a local server
  • Distributed compilation support for team environments
  • Cross-platform support (Windows, Linux, macOS)
Use Cases:
  • Reducing shader compilation times during Unreal Engine development
  • Speeding up C++ build processes for large game projects
  • Sharing compilation results across a development team
Alternatives:
  • ccache – ccache is a general-purpose C/C++ compiler cache but lacks native support for Unreal Engine shader pipelines which Octobuild specializes in.
  • Incredibuild – Incredibuild is a commercial distributed build system focused on Windows/MSVC, whereas Octobuild is an open-source alternative with broader platform support.
