Megabytes are a one-time thing, unless your app is HUGE. Once you've deployed the runtime and dependencies, you can only redeploy your application DLLs.

- apta 6y agoWhat kind of software are you developing that gets deployed over satellite links? Sounds interesting.
- netacean 6y agoDon't want to go into much detail here but it involves ocean vessels.
- throwaway8941 6y agoI apologize if what I'm saying sounds obvious, but have you tried not sending whole binaries/archives, something like delta RPMs / pdiffs?
