Deploying atomic design system at scale

speakerdeck:nickbalestra
slides:none on file

OpenTable refactors a monolithic frontend into vertically sliced microsites, adds a public registry and OpenComponents serverless components, and claims 300 deploys per week and ~100 million component deliveries per day. Components are published immutably, versioned like npm, rendered server- or client-side, previewed via a dev registry, and embedded in emails and external widgets. The system uses templates, CDNs/S3, and runtime caching and it runs in production across teams.
