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
