Hi,

I only use node/php runtimes for functions and static-1/node for site. However, appwrite keeps pull gigabytes of runtimes. It makes my VM backup unnecessary big. How can I prevent appwrite from pull those?

Thanks for helping!

TL;DR
Developers want to avoid Appwrite from pulling weekly unused runtimes to prevent unnecessary large VM backups. They primarily use node/php runtimes for functions and static-1/node for the site. Solution: Set up a CI/CD pipeline to deploy only the required runtimes, reducing the unnecessary pull of gigabytes of runtimes by Appwrite.
