Description
If your GitHub Actions workflow uses Bitrise Build Cache, you’ll now see a Build Cache summary directly in the job annotations.
Highlights:
- See cache health at a glance: Job summaries now show whether the connection to Bitrise Build Cache is healthy, helping teams quickly confirm that their setup is working correctly.
- Spot reuse issues faster: The summary also shows cache reuse health. Low reuse can indicate opportunities to improve module boundaries or investigate invalidation causes.
- Concrete usage numbers: You can now see how much data was downloaded from and uploaded to Build Cache for that build.
- Direct link to the invocation page: Each summary includes a link to the full Build Cache invocation page for deeper investigation.
- Even faster with Build Hub: If your GitHub Actions jobs run on Bitrise Build Hub, Build Cache can deliver even better performance because cache and build execution are colocated in the same datacenter, reducing network latency.
- Visible where you (GitHub Actions user) already look: By surfacing this information directly in the GitHub Actions job summary, Build Cache feedback becomes much easier to notice and act on.
Why This Matters
When teams enable Build Cache on GitHub Actions, one of the first questions is whether it’s working correctly and actually helping. These job annotations make that much clearer by surfacing health, reuse, and transfer metrics right in the workflow run, without requiring users to hunt through logs.

Bottom line: GitHub Actions runs now show Build Cache status directly in the job summary, making it easier to verify your setup, understand cache usage, and dig deeper into the value Build Cache brings to your team.
