Description

I was following up this stackoverflow thead https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66601242/development-lifecycle-for-fast-starting-pods-with-dependency-on-slow-starting-p

Skaffold right now redeploys the whole application when we detect changes. It would be worth looking into limiting this to redeploy on the affected resources or mark some resources as static and not under development

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how Skaffold currently handles change detection and redeployment. Then design a mechanism to identify which resources were affected by a change and redeploy only those, or allow marking resources as static. Focus on the deployer logic and resource graph.
