Comment on #17541 Post-landing CI goals Discussion answered by benjyw Great question. It really depends on your org's practices of course, but if you have a lot of services, and don't want to redeploy them constantly, then you can use something like, e.g.,

./pants list --filter-target-type=pex_binary --changed-since=release_branch --changed-dependents=transitive

to find all the pex_binary targets affected by changes since the release_branch. This assumes your deploys are tagged in git, which is very good practice. pantsbuild/pants
