How Your Monorepo Is Silently Slowing Your CI Pipeline

Episode 23 of The Web Development Podcast with Fexingo dives into a hidden performance killer for teams using monorepos: the innocent-looking dependency graph that makes CI pipelines run 3x slower than necessary. Lucas and Luna walk through a real case from a 40-developer team at a mid-size SaaS company, where a single shared utility library caused cascading rebuilds every time any file changed. They explain why common tools like Lerna and Nx can mask the problem, and what a proper affected-project detection setup looks like. They also touch on the trade-off between developer convenience and build speed, and why moving to separate repos isn't always the answer. If your team's CI feels sluggish and you suspect the monorepo is to blame, this episode gives you the concrete diagnosis and fix. #Monorepo #CI #BuildPipeline #Nx #Lerna #DependencyGraph #WebPerformance #DevOps #ContinuousIntegration #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #WebDev #Frontend #Backend #SoftwareEngineering #BuildOptimization #DeveloperProductivity Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
