Way to change code without a full re-deploy
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It's frustrating to have to wait 10-15 minutes (slower on a low-bandwidth connection) to make small changes to the code, eg changing the value of a constant. In cases where the deployed version needs to be tested (local version won't work), this is very time-consuming.
Describe the solution you'd like A way to re-deploy or otherwise change the code live, without having to go through the entire process that builds a new container, etc.
Describe alternatives you've considered Building locally or waiting.
Additional context This is especially relevant to mobile builds, where testing needs to use the deployed version for various compatibility reasons.
Thanks, and thanks for this Fantastic resource.
For mobile development do you need to actually deploy or just have a publicly available server serving your code? If the latter maybe https://ngrok.com/ would help you - that gives you a publicly accessible URL which points back to your localhost so you can access your meteor running in development mode.
For the matter of making a small / code change and having a long build process, unfortunately that will probably always take a while because even 1 line code change has to go through the entire meteor build
step so we can't rely on any cached states earlier than that.
