I have a question regarding collectstatic . I'm using Amazon Free Tier and realized that I've exceeded the S3 PUT usage limit because I made several collectstatic . I was developing one day in the Amazon environment due to laziness and every change in the JS I made, as I did not know how to do collectstatic of 1 file, I did general.

The most efficient way for small editions is to do collectstatic -i folder/file.png (in the specific file or folder) or do I need to do general? How can I not overwrite S3 uploads?

I know that I hesitated doing several collectstatic in "production" environment. But do I need to make all files always?

The correct thing is to send only what you have changed, it does not make sense to send 100MB of files to S3 if you changed only 1 file of 10Kb.

I usually organize my directories well, for example:

static / img /
static / videos /
static / videos / homepage

When running collecstatic, ignore all directories you have not changed, including 'admin'. If the file you changed is in a directory with many other files, you can ignore extensions as well.

In my fabfile I usually create a dictionary with the directory tree of my static, and in it I inform which will be ignored or not, example:

ignore = {
    'app': {
        'img': None
    }
}

You can create logic and organize as you wish, in my project I did something simpler. The idea is to ignore the parent directory, or specifically specify child directories.
