Hello,
Here is some information about the default and staging buckets <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/python3/using-cloud-storage#default_bucket>. As for the artifact, this is a bucket for the build cache which holds intermediary build output. The staging and artifact buckets hold temporary files which are part of the deployment process. It is not recommended to delete any of these buckets but it won’t break your project if you do. Manually running the command "gcloud app deploy" should check for any file changes and only upload those files that were updated. The behavior may be different if done from a Cloud Build step. In this case, it would need to use previous builds in order to speed up the building time. For more information about making your builds faster, please see our documentation on best practices for speeding up builds <https://cloud.google.com/cloud-build/docs/speeding-up-builds>. Please review this document about running Django on GAE standard <https://cloud.google.com/python/django/appengine#deploying_the_app_to_the_standard_environment_> which provides information about Django's collectstatic. Build steps wise: args: ['-m', 'pip', 'install', '-t', '.', '-r', 'requirements.txt'] args: ['./manage.py', 'collectstatic', '--noinput'] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
