Are you restarting your Rails server every time you deploy JavaScript? Are you waiting 5 minutes or more to deploy static JavaScript? Stop! We were able to cut our JavaScript front-end deployment times from more than 5 minutes to less than 15 seconds with zero downtime. As a bonus, we can preview new releases on production before making them live. I will share all the details of an approach you can implement on your Rails-backed Javascript app to make deploying JavaScript updates a joy.
