Incremental builds on Gatsby

It is not on Render’s plan, but you can suggest it in https://feedback.render.com/

Thanks

A workaround would be to move the public dir out of the project dir so it will be added to the render cache, and then copy back to the project root on each new build. Note though, that the reason we don’t persist thinks like public is to ensure if you remove a file, it doesn’t get copied to the new build. At worst, you’d have to “Clear build cache & depl…
