Deploying a PHP application: 10 seconds.
Deploying a JS application: 120 seconds.
Do people who have experience with modern JS notice a similar trend, or is it only my project?

@afilina already built or including transpires/npm install? Apparently npm 9, which just came out, is a bit better in this regard. And npm ci helps.

But ya, without a bag of tricks JS deploys kinda slowly

@ian It does npm install while building locally.

@afilina hmm, via npx or something else? Running install rather than npm ci seems odd.

Lmk if you aren't familiar with npm ci +'s/-'s; it may be applicable here.

Also, server side or client side, and is this from scratch or incremental? Incremental stuff has gotten reasonably fast but from-scratch builds...aren't.

@ian I have no idea about anything you just said. I inherited a project and stuff is going on there that is longer than I'd like, but I'm not planning any overhaul. I last touched frontend in any noteworthy way in 2015.
