Are they doing anything novel? I read their docs and it sounds like they just have beefy machines and a cache. We've used kaniko cache to great effect for the same purpose. It wasn't trivial to set up but it was pretty easy.

They have a blog post comparing themselves to kaniko but the example is cherry-picked and they're not using similarly sized build machines. I'm pretty sure they're just running docker on bigger instances with SSDs. Maybe that has product market fit, but it's not hard and I'd prefer to self host that.
