This was the idea behind https://webapp.io (YC S20):

- Run a linear series of steps

- Watch which files are read (at the OS level) during each step, and snapshot the entire RAM/disk state of the MicroVM

- When you next push, just skip ahead to the latest snapshot

In practice this makes a generalized version of "cache keys" where you can snapshot the VM as it builds, and then restore the most appropriate snapshot for any given change.
