Monorepo
A software-development strategy in which the code for a number of projects is stored in the same repository
Key benefits of using a monorepo:
- More Visibility
- Improved code sharing: Easier to share code between projects within the repository, leading to greater consistency and efficiency
- Standardization
- Simplified dependency management: Centralized management of dependencies across projects, reducing conflicts and ensuring compatibility
- Faster builds and testing: Optimized build and testing processes can be implemented, as changes to shared code can be tested more efficiently
- Enhanced collaboration: A single repository fosters better collaboration and knowledge sharing among teams
Challenges:
- Increased complexity
- Potential performance issues
- Security concerns
It's important to carefully evaluate the trade-offs before adopting this strategy
