A new building model

[zhenzhenChange]

I believe the build mode is now incremental, right?

The approximate steps are as follows:

1. Check file contents hash.
2. Extracting the parts that have changed.
3. Recompile the changed parts and generate.
4. Read the unchanged part of the cache and generate it.

So, assuming I know exactly what has changed, can I compile just those few files?

This way, I don't have to check the hash or read the previous cache to generate it again.

This scenario works for real, we use contentful to push a new article and after the push a hook is triggered to execute the build.

But because the number of articles is so large, the compilation cache alone is 7 to 8 gigabytes (in 7 languages).

Ninety percent of these articles are not modified, and although there are incremental builds, they still go through the hash check and then read the previous cache to regenerate them, a process that is also fast but limited to the build process.

Because we also have a deployment process, this means that 90% of the constant content needs to be transferred to the server for deployment, a process that is very time consuming and wastes machine performance due to regional differences.

So I'm wondering if it's possible to build on-demand? Or is there a proven solution currently available? Thanks.

Because static pages are fundamentally different from modules, there are almost no dependencies between static pages and static pages, each of which can be considered independent.

Just did a search and found some similarities to Deferred Static Generation.
