Description

We cache npm packages, but from watching a deploy just now, it looks like it downloads a fresh copy of the bower packages every time. Should be able to speed up deploy a bit by caching them.

Research direction

Start by locating the deploy configuration that caches npm packages and the step that downloads Bower packages. Trace how the existing npm cache is configured and identify where Bower dependencies are installed. Done means deploys reuse cached Bower packages instead of downloading a fresh copy each time.
