Docker layer caching (DLC) is a powerful technique that can significantly accelerate your CI/CD pipelines. By reusing unchanged image layers across builds, DLC not only cuts down on build times but also reduces cloud costs and boosts developer productivity. In this article, we’ll break down how Docker layer caching works, how to implement it effectively, and how to combine it with ephemeral environments for maximum impact.

Ephemeral environments supercharge development velocity—but if left unchecked, they can quietly drain your cloud budget. The answer? Right-sizing: a strategy that tailors resource allocation to real-world usage. Done right, it can slash cloud expenses by 30% to 70%.

Let’s dive into how this works—and why more teams are making it part of their CI/CD pipelines.

Preview environments make testing AI-generated code fast and safe. In this hands-on guide, you'll learn how to automatically spin up a full-stack environment for every pull request using Bunnyshell. Works with GitHub, GitLab, Docker, Kubernetes, and more - no DevOps experience required. Perfect for engineering teams using tools like GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or Windsurf who want faster feedback and cleaner releases.

Kubernetes (K8s) is more than just a container orchestration tool—it's a critical component of modern DevOps infrastructure. This blog explores how Kubernetes enables scalability, automation, high availability, security, and multi-cloud flexibility, making it essential for managing complex, distributed systems. Discover why DevOps pros rely on Kubernetes for everything from container management to advanced deployment strategies like rolling updates and canary releases.
