+## Caching with actions/cache
+The caching capabilities of the action are limited for the simplest builds and can be ineffective in the real world
+use cases. If the build requires fine-grained turning the built-in caching should be disabled and
+[actions/cache](https://github.com/actions/cache) should be used.
+
+Here the sample `actions/cache` configuration with the extending options allowing 
+ - configuring paths to cache
+ - have different caches for rare changes dependencies and more often changed intermediate build files
+ - have different caches intermediate build files of different architectures
+ - have custom cache key for parallel builds
+
+```yaml
+build:
+  env:
+   GOOS: ...
+   GOARCH: ...
+
+  steps:
+  - uses: actions/setup-go@v4
+    with:
+      go-version: "1.20.x"
+      cache: false
+
+  - name: Get Go cached paths
+    id: find-cached-paths
+    run: |
+      echo "cache=$(go env GOCACHE)" >> $GITHUB_ENV
+      echo "modcache=$(go env GOMODCACHE)" >> $GITHUB_ENV

+  - name: Set up dependencies cache
+    uses: actions/cache@v3

+      path: |
+        ${{ env.cache }}
+      key: setup-go-deps-${{ runner.os }}-go-${{ hashFiles('go.sum go.mod') }}
+      restore-keys: |
+        setup-go-deps-${{ runner.os }}-go-
+        
+  - name:
+    run: echo "$GOOS $GOARCH"> /tmp/env
+
+  - name: Set up intermediate built files cache
+    uses: actions/cache@v3
+    with:
+      path: |
+        ${{ env.modcache }}
+      key: setup-go-build-${{ env.GOOS }}-${{ env.GOARCH }}-${{ runner.os }}-go-${{ hashFiles('**/*.go /tmp/env') }}
+      restore-keys: |
+        setup-go-build-${{ env.GOOS }}-${{ env.GOARCH }}
+        
+```
+
+
+## Restore-only caches
+If there are several builds on the same repo it might make sense to create a cache in one build and use it in the
+others. The action [actions/cache/restore](https://github.com/actions/cache/blob/main/restore/README.md#only-restore-cache)
+should be used in this case.
+
+## Include or exclude cached paths
+This advanced use case requires the use of
+[actions/cache](https://github.com/actions/cache/blob/main/examples.md#automatically-detect-cached-paths)
+
+## Generate different caches
+This advanced use case assumes manual definition of cache key and requires the use of
+[actions/cache](https://github.com/actions/cache/blob/main/examples.md#go---modules)
+
+## Parallel builds
+To avoid race conditions during the parallel builds they should either
+[generate their own caches](#generate-different-caches), or create the cache
+for only one build and [restore](#restore-only-caches) that cache in the other builds.
+
 # Release process
 
 As soon as functionality is implemented, we will release minor update of action. No need to bump major version since there are no breaking changes for existing users.
