How do you speed up Envoyer deployments?

Hello! Heavy and happy user of Forge here. As our app is becoming too large, some side effects have come with deployment downtime.

I love everything I see about Envoyer (or similar solutions, sometimes custom built on Envoy) except one thing: the need for a complete rebuild of dependencies eg composer install + npm install.

This means our deployments would now be way longer, and even if there is no downtime anymore, deployment speed is really important for us and actually a core principle of how we manage software.

Do you have big apps with lots of dependencies running on Laravel Envoyer? If yes, how did you tackle the slower deployment time? How come we should reinstall composer dependencies when a lot of times, nothing has changed?

Or did you simply accept it as a trade off considering all the other benefits? https://getappvalley.com/ https://tutuappx.com/ https://tweakbox.mobi/
