Cachely is a managed remote build cache for teams using Nx, Lerna, Turborepo, Gradle, or Bazel.
What Cachely is
Cachely is a managed remote build cache for teams using Nx, Lerna, Turborepo, Gradle, or Bazel. It shares build artifacts among CI runners and developer machines, allowing supported build tools to reuse task outputs. Cachely works with CI platforms including GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, Jenkins, Buildkite, Woodpecker, Drone, and self-hosted runners. Its dashboard shows cache hit rate, slow tasks, and estimated CI time and cost savings. Setup involves creating a workspace, generating a token, and directing the build tool to the cache; the maker says this takes about five minutes. Tokens are workspace-scoped and revocable, while artifacts are immutable and expire 20 days after upload. Cachely says it does not connect to repositories, though configured clients send task outputs and content hashes that may include source-derived files. The free plan includes 1 GiB of storage and 500K monthly requests. Team costs $29.99/mo, or $24.99/mo billed yearly.
Good

Who it suits
Cachely suits individual developers and teams that use supported build systems and want a managed remote cache across developer machines and CI runners. Teams seeking more storage and request capacity can consider Team.
Verdict
Cachely combines broad build-system support with visibility into cache activity and managed artifact storage. Review the request and storage limits, 20-day retention, and lack of a formal SOC 2-style attestation when assessing fit.
