Gatsby Incremental Builds

Hello I am following along with this article on Incremental Builds for my site.

The deploy time is still approximately the same. Went from 4 minutes to 3 minutes and 20 seconds which makes me think I am missing something in my configuration

One thing I am confused about is the netlify.toml file in step 3 I have never heard of the file extension before. Do I need to use it and where should I add it?

I am using the netlify-cache plugin and followed the steps to add using the documentation on Gatsby with no options being passed.

Using this plugin do I still need the add the netlify.toml file and where do I do or add this?

I believe I have everything else set up including upgrading to the latest Gatsby and enabling the netlify beta plugin features in the UI

Thank you and have a wondeful day

Hey @aquasar,

The netlify.toml allows for file-based configuration and you will need to use this file for the build plugin. The netlify.toml file usually sits alongside your package.json :+1:

Happy to help further!

Hey! Could you clarify what you´re supposed to do with the netlify.toml file? I can’t get it to work.

Hey @wahlforss,

So, you’ll need a netlify.toml file (which usually lives in the root of your site repo) with the following:

[[plugins]]
package = "netlify-plugin-gatsby-cache"

Hope this helps!
