Summary

Gatsby Cloud has introduced Incremental Deploys for all builds, significantly enhancing the speed at which content changes are published across large sites. This new feature, now available for Branch, Pull Request, and CMS Preview builds, allows only the modified pages and routes to be updated when content changes are made, reducing the time to publish by over tenfold even for large sites. Previously, large sites faced delays in deploying content changes despite the improvements made by Gatsby 3 and Incremental Builds. With Incremental Deploys, sites like gatsbyjs.com have seen their publish times drop from 40 seconds to just 2 seconds on average. A third-party study highlighted the fast build and deploy times of Gatsby Cloud, comparable to local builds on powerful hardware like Apple M1 chips. Incremental Deploys is currently in beta for Branch and Pull Request builds, with Gatsby 4 being a requirement for this feature.
