Subito’s journey to a scalable monorepo

on YouTube ↗31m

" summary

Subito moves from injected runtime widgets to server‑rendered Next.js and a monorepo, using Lerna and conventional commits to automate version bumps, Jest test sharding and moduleNameMapper to run tests in parallel, and TurboRepo with an S3 remote cache to fetch build artifacts. Build times drop from over 20 minutes to about 1 minute, CI duration falls ~75%, and remote caching saves over a thousand developer hours since rollout.
