ERROR: (gcloud.app.deploy): too many files

[sakulstra]

After updating to the latest meteor version(1.10.1) I started to face the following error.
I upgraded a lot of other packages within the process, which might be related but I checked in a previous version and there have always been more than 10k files to i'm wondering how it ever actually worked 😅

ERROR: (gcloud.app.deploy) INVALID_ARGUMENT: This deployment has too many files. New versions are limited to 10000 files for this app.
- '@type': type.googleapis.com/google.rpc.BadRequest
  fieldViolations:
  - description: This deployment has too many files. New versions are limited to 10000
      files for this app.
    field: version.deployment.files[...]

I'm still investigating if/how i can get my file number down &| don't copy over all node modules to the docker image.

Posting this here in case someone has an idea or the same problem.
