I tried a lot of stuff the last days and am very very thankful, if you could point me in the right direction on what I could try next.

My current status:

• I have a running Angular application that is served via docker-compose with a bunch of other services.
• I use docker-compose in prod and dev for a while now and never had bigger problems.
• I had to update my application from Angular 11 to Angular 12 and after that had to resolve quite a few dependency conflicts.
• I have configured the angular.json manually to Angular 12 format and rechecked it multiple times.
• My Angular application is working in prod and dev builds.

Now my problem:

• Since updating Angular from 11 to 12 automatic recompiling (inside of docker-container) after code changes is taking up to 2 minutes (before just a few seconds). This makes fast iterations impossible for me. So I would love to have it fast again!

A few background infos:

• In my docker-compose file I mounted volumes for app-code and node-modules. I know that volumes can slow everything down, but: It worked perfectly fast before updating my application to Angular 12.
• The app is served via ng serve --host 0.0.0.0 --disable-host-check --port 3000 --poll 100.
• The app is recompiling very fast after changes, when using ng serve outside of a docker container.
• I am using Docker for Windows on Win 10 with WSL2 integration.

If you need more info, I am more than glad to provide it. Thank you so much in advance and sorry for any bad english as I am not a native speaker.

Edit: The build command (ng serve...) as well as the docker & docker-compose configuration did not change. The only thing that got changed for my development build where the following devDependencies in my package.json file:
