How can I optimize caching dependencies in CircleCI?

To optimize caching dependencies in CircleCI, you can use the caching feature to store dependencies between builds. This reduces build time significantly.

What types of dependencies can I cache?

You can cache various types of dependencies, including package managers like npm, Maven, and Bundler, as well as Docker images.

How do I set up caching in my CircleCI config?

In your .circleci/config.yml, you can define a cache key under your job. Specify the paths to cache, like ~/.npm for npm.

Can I cache multiple directories?

Yes, you can cache multiple directories by adding them to the paths array in the cache section of your config.

What happens if the cache gets corrupted?

If the cache gets corrupted, CircleCI will automatically rebuild it on the next job run, ensuring your builds continue smoothly.
