As an example:

The Generate API artifacts should take a matter of seconds (not even), it assembles a set of OpenAPI definitions from flat files with no external calls.

Further, the Deploy Infrastructure has been stuck on lerna notice cli v8.1.3 for 1m11s. Only after ~1m30s did it show the next steps:

info cli using local version of lerna
lerna notice cli v8.1.3
lerna info ci enabled
lerna info Executing command in 6 packages: "yarn run deploy --app ./environments/.develop"

And all of that is before it reaches my code.

What am I missing?

Same feeling here on very slow time to start yes. +1

Going to chime in here as well. After upgrading to lerna 8.1.3 on one of our repos suddenly seeing our lerna publish step hang long enough to cause our CI system to detect it as a hung thread/terminate the build. Downgrading to lerna 8.1.2 resolves it, so wondering if something underyling or underlying NX deps changed that's causing a problem.

As an update I retested with 8.1.4 and 8.1.5 still seeing the builds hang. Tried passing --loglevel=silly but nothing additional in the output that helps us debug what's going on here.

This is running in a bamboo server pipeline:

again, it's all fine on 8.1.2, but we'd like to consume 8.1.5 for some of the vulnerability fixes with tar and other packages.

I looked at the changes between 8.1.2 and 8.1.3 but nothing is really standing out to me as the culprit, but it's hard to say with the major version change in NX if that's somehow causing the issue.
