Install: brew install sccache

About:
sccache acts as a compiler wrapper that caches compilation results to avoid redundant work. It supports local disk caching and can distribute compilation across remote machines. This significantly speeds up rebuilds and continuous integration pipelines.

Key Features:

Local and remote caching (S3, Azure, etc.)
Distributed compilation support
Drop-in replacement for ccache
Supports multiple compilers (GCC, Clang, MSVC)

Use Cases:

Accelerating local development rebuilds
Reducing CI/CD build times
Speeding up large-scale codebase compilation

Alternatives:

ccache – ccache is simpler and only supports local disk caching, while sccache adds remote storage and distributed compilation.
