Hey @Alex Ketchum, is this a Node.js repo? SEED tries to cache the node modules automatically - https://seed.run/docs/caching-dependencies

Are you seeing a long yarn/npm install time?

12/01/2021, 9:57 PMit is node.js yes! yarn takes ~200 seconds on a recent service deploy, the deploy to cloudformation only takes 128 seconds. Also, why is serverless installed each time? thats another 25 seconds.

12/01/2021, 10:00 PMWe love seed, but the build times are inconveniently long at the moment. I expect there is a lot of low hanging fruit that we can do to optimize, but I am not sure we know where to start. Do you have any resources for self directing our attempt to speed things up?

12/01/2021, 10:01 PMfor example, a service just took 7 build min (6:33) to deploy, where as locally this would take less than half that time

@Alex Ketchum any suggestions on what we could read up on to try and reduce these seed build times?We did some research, and it seems for Yarn 2, we’d need to cache the

Copy code
4 packages were already cached, 1971 had to be fetchedn

We are also facing the exact same problem. When is this fix coming out?
