Summary

Everytime we push to Amplify, we are rebuilding our Gatsby site. In the future, when members of our docs team are editing and merging new content every few minutes, we shouldn't have to rebuild our Gatsby site fully each time. We should do some research on how long our builds take at scale and if there are ways to optimize our builds.

Procedure

Open up a PR merging into research. If there is no changes in the code (and only research details), you can just make an edit in a text file, since there is no plan to merge this into main. Use the PR template research_PR_template.md either by coping the markdown into the PR or by appending the query string ?template=research_PR_template.md to the URL. Fill out the template by answering the research questions listed below.

Research Goals

• Identify how long builds will take at scale (perform tests on our current site)
• Identify possible optimizations / methods to decrease our build time
