In Mozilla we use IceCC distributed compilation within offices and sccache to cache both C++ and Rust compilations. sccache supports stuff like S3 to store the compiled artifacts so it can be setup to serve a large number of developers over the internet provided they have fast enough connections (and they trust the cached objects).
