If you like distcc, perhaps you'd also like icecream https://github.com/icecc/icecream which I think is a bit easier to use.

I worked on adding distributed compilation to sccache [0]. Docs at [1] and [2]. Compared to existing tools, sccache supports:

- local caching (like ccache)

- remote caching e.g. to S3, or a LAN redis instance (unique afaik)

- distributed compilation of C/C++ code (like distcc, icecream)

- distributed compilation of Rust (unique afaik)

- distributed compilation on Windows by cross compiling on Linux machines (unique afaik)

Note that I think bazel also does a bunch of these, but you need to use bazel as your build system.

I've been contemplating how to add ccache to my work's current icecream cluster and I also considered the possibility of using it for non-release branch dev builds in CI. I'll have to experiment with this instead. Thank you.

I'm using it. It's reaction to network degradation, even one just moderately worse off than LAN with a single switch really hampers usage on cloud servers.
