Faster AEM Cloud Builds: How Module Caching Changes the Game

 AEM as a Cloud Service introduces module caching to significantly reduce build and deployment times across your CI/CD pipelines. This article explains how module caching works, why it improves build performance, and what developers need to configure to take full advantage of it. Learn how cached dependencies, optimized build steps, and smarter pipeline reuse can cut down your build duration and accelerate release cycles—making your AEM Cloud deployments faster, more efficient, and developer-friendly.

A new build model compiles only changed modules (rather than the entire repo) using module-level caching to shorten build times. It applies to code-quality, full-stack, and stage-only pipelines.

How to achieve this? 
Edit Non-Production Pipeline dialog box showing the two Build Strategy options which are Full Build and Smart Build.

In the Add/Edit Pipeline dialog box, under the Source Code tab, a new Build Strategy section lets you choose one of the following build options:

  • Full Build : Builds all modules in the repository on every run.
  • Smart Build : Builds only modules that changed since the last commit, which shortens overall build time.

You control which pipelines use Smart build. During the beta, this option appears only for Code Quality and Dev Deployment pipelines.

If you are Interested in this, you will have to reach out to Adobe by Email beta_quickbuild_cmpipelines@adobe.com with your Adobe OrgID and Program ID.
