From mobile apps to microservices, from small startups to big enterprises, Gradle helps teams build, automate and deliver better software, faster.

I should note that we may end up simply increasing the size limit for our setup, I’m just trying to understand my options more fully.

depends on the case, but it maybe not worth to put such big outputs in the remote build cache. It is possible that executing locally could be faster then downloading build cache entry

1- yes, you can configure the task outputs.cacheIf {...}

More info: <https://docs.gradle.org/current/javadoc/org/gradle/api/tasks/TaskOutputs.html|https://docs.gradle.org/current/javadoc/org/gradle/api/tasks/TaskOutputs.html>

2- no, cache or not, there still no way to differentiate remote from local (and I believe it would be useful in some cases)

<@UFDR8S97S> suggests a possible workaround to 2 here <https://runningcode.github.io/gradle-doctor/slower-from-cache/>
