I'm using Google Cloud NodeJS hosting. I'm so surprised when I deploy apps to Google Cloud. It's very slow for each deployment. It could be slow the first time, but after that, when I change some js or html file and re-deploy, it is still slow.
Does it take 5~10 minutes to deploy a small project? How could I speed it up?
The nodejs apps use flexible environment based on docker files which take time to create/update. See How can I speed up Rails Docker deployments on Google Cloud Platform?
Also, when re-deploying the same version some additional time is required to update the service, see why does google appengine deployment take several minutes to update service
