A variation of the above [xkcd webcomic](https://xkcd.com/303/) is, “containers are building!” If it takes way to long to build your containers, Prefab might be able to help!

Prefab is a Python-based container build tool that uses deterministic remote caching to help reduce build times, especially in cases of compiled or other CPU intensive builds. Unlike [BuildKit](https://github.com/moby/buildkit#cache) and the [Docker CLI](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/build/#specifying-external-cache-sources), which use container layer caching, Prefab caches based on the *content* that goes into a container image.
