SUCO – Lightweight Distributed C/C++ Compiler Grid with intelligent SSD cache (alternative to Icecream/distcc)

Hi everyone,



I'd like to share my open-source project **SUCO** (SUper COmpiler Grid).



It's a lightweight, zero-config distributed C/C++ compilation and caching system for local networks. Designed as a simpler and faster alternative to Icecream/distcc and proprietary tools like IncrediBuild.



**Key features:**

\- Automatic worker discovery via UDP

\- SHA-256 based SSD cache → warm rebuilds can be up to \~4× faster

\- Windows client can cross-compile to Linux MinGW workers

\- Load-aware scheduling + automatic failover

\- Live web dashboard + Prometheus metrics

\- Easy CMake & IDE integration



Cold builds are roughly on par with Icecream, but cache hits skip the expensive compiler phases completely.

I'd really appreciate any feedback, criticism or suggestions!
