Hurry – Fast Rust build caching
Hey HN, we’re Eliza and Xin. We’re working on Hurry, an open source drop-in tool that adds distributed build caching to Cargo with (almost) zero configuration. Wherever you run cargo build, you can run hurry cargo build instead, and expect around 2-5x (our best benchmark is 22x) faster builds. We built this because we were dissatisfied with the current build caching options available for Rust. Buck and Bazel require learning a new tool. GitHub Actions and swatinem are too coarse-grained (either the whole cache hits, or none of it does) and finicky to debug, and cargo-chef and Docker layer…
In plain words
Hurry is an open source tool that speeds up Rust builds by adding distributed caching to Cargo with minimal setup. Users run `hurry cargo build` instead of `cargo build` to achieve 2-5x faster compilation times through package-level cache restoration. It works across different environments without requiring new tools or complex configuration, and is available as both an open source project and a cloud-hosted caching service.

Hey HN, we’re Eliza and Xin. We’re working on Hurry, an open source drop-in tool that adds distributed build caching to Cargo with (almost) zero configuration. Wherever you run cargo build, you can run hurry cargo build instead, and expect around 2-5x (our best benchmark is 22x) faster builds. We built this because we were dissatisfied with the current build caching options available for Rust. Buck and Bazel require learning a new tool. GitHub Actions and swatinem are too coarse-grained (either the whole cache hits, or none of it does) and finicky to debug, and cargo-chef and Docker layer caching have the same problems. We wanted something that could restore cache at the package level, did not require integration-specific setup, and worked everywhere. Hurry is fully open source under Apache 2. You can try it out now with our cloud hosted caching service at https://hurry.build or self-host your own build cache service from https://github.com/attunehq/hurry. Sorry in advance for the rough edges - we have some customers already exercising the hot paths, but build tools are pretty large surfaces. We’ve got a list of known limitations at https://github.com/attunehq/hurry?tab=readme-ov-file#known-l.... We’d love for folks here to try it out (maybe on your next Rust winter side project?) and let us know what you think. We’ll be in the comments here, or you can email us at [email protected]. Our goal is to make all parts of software engineering faster. If you have some part of your coding workflow that you want faster, please feel free to reach out. We’d love to chat.

Community, All the HN belong to you. This is an archive of hacker news that fits in your browser. When I made HN Made of Primes I realized I could probably do this offline sqlite/wasm thing with the whole GBs of archive. The whole dataset. So I tried it, and this is it. Have Hacker News on your device. Go to this repo (https://github.com/DOSAYGO-STUDIO/HackerBook): you can download it. Big Query -> ETL -> npx serve docs - that's it. 20 years of HN arguments and beauty, can be yours forever. So they'll never die. Ever. It's the unkillable static archive of HN and it's…
