sync cache

[jampy]

I'm using devspace dev extensively during development. Since my repository is rather large, the initial sync takes some time and also transfers a lot of data. I like to devspace purge quite often (especially when switching branches) in order to have a clean working environment.

dev:app sync  Upstream - Upload 4910 create change(s) (Uncompressed ~115253.59 KB)

Of course, most of these files do not change that often - especially not the large ones.

I was wondering if there is some way that the devspace sync process might use a persistent volume (that survives a purge) to cache these files remotely, avoiding the need for repeated transfer of the same data over and over again.

Or perhaps you can suggest some trick?

Thanks,!

Have you tried configuring the persistence options?

No, because I assume that this will persist the files even if I do a devspace purge and that's not what I'm looking for.

I regularly do devspace purge folowed by devspace dev to make sure I have a clean, deterministic environment, especially when switching git branches.

Also I mostly use one-way sync.

Or are you suggesting some trick I'm not seeing?
