Exclude files from causing GAE server restart
If you change the files that comprise your application, the application will need to restart in order to serve the new files.
If this is a real sticking point for you, I would suggest hosting the files elsewhere, like a CDN. Your application and the static resources that it employs do not need to be all in the same place.
Is there a way to avoid GAE server restart when the file within the root of my application changes. I use Go (GAE server is python based) runtime. 
The intention is not to reload the server when some of my files (html, css, js files; which are under /static folder) changes. This is to avoid startup time during development. Any way to exclude them from file watch.
thanks.
