Select the appropriate cache sharing approach based on your execution environment to maximize performance and efficiency. When working with containerized applications: 1. For local development or long-running VMs: - Use cache mounts to persist the cache between container runs - Mount to the standard cache location (e.g., `~/.cache/uv`) 2. For CI environments (both parallel and sequential): - Use mounted volumes to share cache across containers - This reduces network traffic and speeds up dependency installation Example for sharing cache in Docker containers: ```yaml # Docker container cache sharing volumes: - ./cache:/root/.cache/uv ``` Keep cache configurations simple by default and only add specialized invalidation patterns when necessary. For most cases, the default cache behavior is sufficient.
