The great thing about automated code deployment is that it saves you an immense amount of time when you need to deploy a new feature or commit. But let’s face it, nobody wants to wait through a full deployment when only making a small change to a config file.
Thanks to DeployBot’s new “Deploy Config Only” feature, the time it takes to deploy config file changes has been drastically reduced. In the past, when you wanted to add new config files, these files would be added together with the changes from the last commit on your git repository. With its new feature however, DeployBot can directly deploy only your config files; tremendously improving the time it takes to launch a new configuration change into a live environment.
