Has anyone used a hosted remote caching/execution product? I tried BuildBuddy and it seems to sort of work for caching on the pants side, but their UI doesn't really register it and the remote execution fails

We use BuildBuddy also for caching and it works great! We haven’t tried anything for remote execution though - I suspect if we did we’d go with something like Github Actions runners rather than doing remote execution at the Pants layer

Do you see anything in the builds section of BuildBuddy? I don't see anything there despite seeing things in the audit log section
b
Nope, nothing under Builds
In fact, the only section where I see anything is “Usage”:

@powerful-scooter-95162 I confirm that caching works OOTB. For remote execution, you may want to ask for help in the BuildBuddy Slack. They are very helpful. https://community.buildbuddy.io/ It is possible that there's some configuration that need to happen before they would be able to recognize incoming requests.

I did ask in the BuildBuddy slack and got the response that pants is unsupported, so I'm here wondering if there is a better option :)
