Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Builds Docker images in the cloud rather than on your local machine. Links to Docker Desktop & CLI for transparent usage. Shared cache within a team speeds up builds for all users. Managed multi-arch builders for AMD & ARM platforms. Smart layer caching only builds what’s changed. Also integrates with CI.

Tradeoffs

Currently only running in US East so if you transfer lots of files in the build steps, latency and bandwidth can become a bottleneck. More regions on the roadmap. No web UI for managing what’s in the cache - can purge from the CLI.
