Yup; one monolithic app. Tests run in a tad over two minutes.

That is insanely fast, for what must be an enormous codebase. Do you mean it runs in two minutes on your Mac, or on distributed CI servers?

We use the test-queue gem (https://github.com/tmm1/test-queue) to run our test suite in parallel across 10x 8 core machines.

That's awesome! We were using parallel_tests, but we just bought a second test server. I was looking into Kochiku from Square, but that gem looks perfect. Thanks!

Two minutes is actually pretty fast for such a large app. Well done. And congratulations on the migration.
