Inside our build grid for Next.js + PHP hybrid deploys

Hybrid apps mixing Next.js and WordPress need predictable pipelines. We built a deterministic grid scheduler to run both runtimes concurrently.

Multi-runtime builds

Every commit triggers a DAG that compiles Next.js assets, bundles PHP, and seeds databases. Build artifacts stay cacheable across teams.

Caching every layer

A shared dependency cache ensures installing node modules or composer packages rarely hits the network.
