Action Summary

The “Docker Compose Cache Action” is a GitHub Action designed to optimize development and CI workflows by caching Docker Compose volumes and image layers across builds. It addresses performance bottlenecks, such as slow bind mount volumes on macOS, and avoids repetitive setup steps by preserving dependencies like app libraries and databases between runs. This action simplifies and accelerates the process of running setup scripts, improving CI efficiency and ensuring smoother developer onboarding.
