Description

Every time a Docker build runs in CI, it's building the entire image from scratch. Surely we can figure out a way to utilize a cache to speed up the build speeds.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's CI configuration and Docker image build steps to determine how builds currently run without a cache. Compare available Docker caching approaches and verify the result in CI. Done means repeated Docker builds reuse cached layers instead of rebuilding the entire image and build speed improves.
