question: does gatsby still render a page if its data dependencies are unchanged?

[r1b]

I am curious if gatsby can do incremental builds. Lets say I have a page that depends on some set of nodes. If gatsby can determine that none of the data dependencies have changed will it still attempt to render the page again?

Currently Gatsby does incremental builds in development, for example while using gatsby-source-filesystem it will hot reload when you change any markdown file that is being pulled in. However there is no ability to do data dependency diffing in production -- it does full rebuilds.
