# Introduction
Unless I'm mistaken in the existing `yarn-install` composite action
`dependencies` are cached twice.
## Cached through `setup-node`
As we're providing `yarn` value to cache inputs.
Setup node will cache the global `.yarn`
```yml
- name: Setup Node.js and get yarn cache
uses: actions/setup-node@v3
with:
node-version: 18
cache: yarn
```
## Programmatic `node_modules` caching
We even manually still cache `node_modules` folder using:
```yml
- name: Cache node modules
id: node-modules-cache
uses: actions/cache@v3
with:
path: |
node_modules
packages/*/node_modules
key: root-node_modules-${{ hashFiles('yarn.lock') }}
restore-keys: root-node_modules-
```
By the way it seems like that the `yarn.lock` file is useless as the
restore-key pattern omits it
This could, unless I'm mistaken, leads to invalid cache restore
## Runtime
The current infra results in the following install deps logs:

## Suggestion
We should stick to only one deps caching mechanism.
Also caching the node_modules folder is not
[recommended](611465405c/examples.md (node---npm)).
That's why I would factorize our caching to the `setup-node` scope only.
## The cache-primary-key crafting
Within the cache-primary-key we will inject the following metrics:
- Node version, as we're caching `node_modules` directly in this way to
avoid cache desync in case we upgrade node.
- Hash of the lockfile, in this way if the lockfile comes to mutate we
will re-install the deps from scratch, in this way no need to
programmatically listen for `changed-files` on the `package.json` and
the `lockfile`
- Strict installation with `check-cache` and `enableHardenedMode` to
true and obviously the `--immutable` flag ( note adding the
`--immutable-cache` by principle even if on paper is overkill as a cache
restoration and install should never occurs )

Does the world need another CRM?
We built Twenty for three reasons:
CRMs are too expensive, and users are trapped. Companies use locked-in customer data to hike prices. It shouldn't be that way.
A fresh start is required to build a better experience. We can learn from past mistakes and craft a cohesive experience inspired by new UX patterns from tools like Notion, Airtable or Linear.
We believe in Open-source and community. Hundreds of developers are already building Twenty together. Once we have plugin capabilities, a whole ecosystem will grow around it.
