How can caching and artifacts speed up Kube-state-metrics on GitLab CI?

Caching and artifacts can significantly optimize the performance of kube-state-metrics within GitLab CI pipelines. By utilizing caching mechanisms, you can store and retrieve necessary dependencies and build outputs, reducing the time spent on repetitive tasks. Artifacts allow you to save the results of job executions, ensuring that subsequent jobs can access these outputs without the need to run the same steps again, thus accelerating the overall process.
