Wrangling Gitlab CI/CD in Monorepos

So, I recently had the opportunity to extensively dig into Gitlab’s CI/CD. We have a monorepo that I wanted to deploy automatically, and it took quite a bit of work to optimize it and work as I expected.

To set the stage, here’s our core .gitlab-ci.yml file (now):

image: node:18-alpine3.19

variables:
  AWS_REGION: us-east-1
  AWS_DEFAULT_REGION: us-east-1
  FF_USE_FASTZIP: "true"
  ARTIFACT_COMPRESSION_LEVEL: "fast"
  CACHE_COMPRESSION_LEVEL: "fast"

stages:
  - prepare
  - module-caches
  - layers
  - build
  - deploy
