Description

We have several caches that are individually addressed and updated (ruby, rubygems, npm packages, precompiled assets, db schema) varying in size from 40kB to 200MB

It would be nice to be able to trigger the cache restore on all of them in parallel, to save on latency and overlap extracting and downloading time.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the cache restore entry point and understanding how individually addressed caches are currently restored. Done means multiple caches can be restored in parallel while preserving existing cache behavior and handling the listed cache types.
