How Chick-fil-A's internal software is transforming their supply chain

Chick-fil-A's internal software, powered by Next.js, Turborepo, and Vercel, has drastically reduced build times and improved developer experience for their supply chain management platform, Signal. The micro-frontend solution enables the company to understand and align on restaurant sales forecasts, view inventory at every location, dynamically split orders, and tailor supply to meet demand. By adopting a more distributed approach with multiple full-stack pods, Chick-fil-A has empowered multiple teams to independently iterate on various applications within Signal's micro-frontend, amplifying engineering capacity and enabling faster development and deployment. The platform is also using Turborepo alone to reduce build times from 25 minutes to around 5 seconds, and is leveraging Vercel for serverless functions, Edge Config, and seamless integration with feature flags. The company is exploring AI-powered features, including a ChatGPT-like internal support chat, to further enhance the developer experience and user experience of Signal.
