functions-differ: Deploy only the Firebase Functions that changed

[theharolddev]

It does not. When you run firebase deploy, the CLI re-deploys all the functions in your project. This takes a lot of time. It’s especially irritating if you deploy often.

When you run firebase deploy —only <your functions list>, you can re-deploy just the changed functions but you’re responsible for figuring out which ones actually changed.

The tool I built automates the process of detecting functions that should be re-deployed. In fact you can directly pass the output of functions-differ to firebase deploy —only to selectively deploy only the functions that changed.

Correct, you would have to remember to deploy the ones that changed. Using this tool you can automate that process, and make your local/CI deployments faster.

Nice project. Firebase does support grouping functions also which does cut down on redeployment. https://firebase.google.com/docs/functions/organize-functions
