Will RSPack's persistent cache feature be generalized to support storage systems outside of disk?

[mjames-c]

I work at a large company, Canva, that employees over 600 web engineers performing 100k+ Webpack development builds a week. We have been investigating migrating from Webpack to RSPack (alongside other bundlers).

One feature that would be beneficial for us is the ability to re-use work across developer machines (e.g. loader file transforms). Does the RSPack team have any plans to generalise the persistent caching solution to support this (e.g. by allowing us to plug RSPack into a custom remote cache store)? A good example of a module bundler that does this well is Metro.

Both portable cache and remote cache are on our roadmap. We're focusing on portable cache this quarter, and once it's ready, it will allow cache sharing across different machines.

@hardfist what's "portable cache"? as in the ability for users to plugin-in their own cache implementation?

Thanks for sharing this context — it’s great to hear that Canva is evaluating Rspack!

Our teammate @jerrykingxyz has been researching portable cache and remote cache for several months, and we'll soon be able to share the RFC and further progress.

Great to hear, excited to read the RFC
