Automatic Deployment of Changed Firebase Functions
Firebase should offer a built-in feature to automatically detect changes to Cloud Functions and deploy only those functions, grouped into manageable batches to avoid rate limits. This feature would streamline deployments by:
- Scanning the project directory to identify functions with modified code since the last deployment.
- Automatically batching the deployment of changed functions based on rate limit thresholds (e.g., 8-10 functions per batch).
- Handling the deployment process transparently within the Firebase CLI or CI/CD integrations, reducing manual intervention.
This functionality would save time, minimize deployment errors, and improve developer workflows, particularly in large projects with numerous functions.

It's impossible to know which functions are edited by a change in some deep utility function. However, if you split your functions into different codebases, we do detect which codebases have been changed and skip over unchanged ones.https://firebase.google.com/docs/functions/organize-functions for more info
