Cache was designed to be used to speed up invocations of subsequent runs of a
given job, by keeping things like dependencies (e.g., npm packages, Go vendor
packages, etc.) so they don't have to be re-fetched from the public internet.
While the cache can be abused to pass intermediate build results between stages,
there may be cases where artifacts are a better fit.

It's sometimes confusing because the name artifact sounds like something that
is only useful outside of the job, like for downloading a final image. But
