Summary

Makeswift, a company that provides easy visual or no-code Next.js site builders, adopted Turborepo to improve their build times and development experience. Prior to adopting Turborepo, Makeswift used a custom build process with Kubernetes and Bazel, but found it difficult to maintain and optimize. After switching to Turborepo, they improved their overall CI pipeline time by 65% and reduced the time from commit to deploy from around 20 minutes to less than one minute. Turborepo has enabled Makeswift's developers to iterate quickly, with an average of 50 builds a day, and has also improved their local development experience, allowing them to spin up an end-to-end stack using just one command. Makeswift is now looking forward to exploring more features offered by Turborepo and Vercel, such as multi-tenancy and publishing to npm in their open-source repo.
