# Interface BuildCacheServiceFactory<T extends BuildCache>

Type Parameters:
  `T` - the type of build cache configuration this factory can handle.

public interface BuildCacheServiceFactory<T extends BuildCache>
Factory interface to be provided by build cache service implementations.

To be able to use a `BuildCacheService`, the factory that implements this interface and the configuration type (`BuildCache`) must be registered with the `BuildCacheConfiguration`.

In settings.gradle:

        buildCache {
            // Register custom build cache implementation
            registerBuildCacheService(CustomBuildCache, CustomBuildCacheFactory)

            remote(CustomBuildCache) {
                // configure custom build cache.
            }
        }
