The Quest for the Fastest Deployment Time
summary
Baseline Docker build plus deploy takes about 55 seconds locally and ~1–2 minutes remotely; switching to cached dependency layers or vendoring drops that to ~22–28s. Enabling the Go compiler cache with BuildKit cache cuts rebuilds to ~17–19s. Keeping a container running and using tilt live update with enter for in-container hot reload gets iteration time down to ~1–2 seconds locally, but remote clusters stay slower because of image push or binary upload. Compressing binaries with upx (12MB → ~5MB) halves remote update time.
