Elevating Developer Experience at the Speed of Sound
summary
Sonos migrates off Salesforce Commerce Cloud to a stack of Next.js + Vercel + Sanity, completing a big storefront rewrite in about six months (original plan closer to a year), prebuilding roughly 600 pages with ISR every two hours, and moving to TurboRepo and the App Router. CI uses GitHub Actions pipelines with linters, unit/integration/accessibility/load tests. A custom scrolling product blowout ships and works, conversions rise, preview builds speed up, and infrastructure maintenance drops so developers focus on features.
