Accelerated operational velocity by streamlining workflows and aligning development processes

Monorepo Modernization

  • Consolidated multiple JavaScript frontend application modules into a single repository using a monorepo pattern

  • Unified the build toolchain and standardized the platform

  • Aligned React and TypeScript versions across the codebase

  • Facilitated easier cross-module dependency updates and modernization efforts

  • Achieved a 4x improvement in operational velocity by reducing CI/CD overhead, including fewer required PR reviews, faster builds, and streamlined publishing workflows

Challenges

  • Managing the complexity of modern web application build toolchains and ensuring seamless integration of components

  • Aligning and maintaining dependencies across previously misaligned projects to achieve a consistent ecosystem

  • Publishing a plugin API to enable tailored customer-specific solutions while preserving modularity

Implementation Specifics

  • Frontend Frameworks: Standardized with React and craco for configuration

  • TypeScript

  • Build Tools: Leveraged Webpack and Gradle for efficient builds

  • Monorepo Management: Adopted Lerna for dependency alignment and versioning

  • Testing Frameworks: Used Karma, Jest and Jasmine for testing

  • Private Registry: Used Verdaccio for accelerating local development
