Turbocharging Next.js: How Remote Caching decreased publish times by 80%

Next.js has surpassed 4 million npm downloads for the first time, with over 2,400 contributors on its core team. To keep up with this vast community, Next.js is continuously iterating and improving its developer experience. The project recently introduced Rust to its core, which brought improved performance but also increased CI time due to the prolonged process of building Rust binaries. However, implementing Turborepo Remote Caching reduced publish times by 80%, allowing for faster iterations and better quality of life for both the Next.js team and users. Turborepo addressed three key problems: task management for per-platform binaries, no more cache purges, and eagerly pre-seeding the Remote Cache to prevent slow publishes when code changes are made. With this improvement, Next.js can now iterate faster than ever before, enabling the addition of new features and bug fixes sooner.
