The Pros and Cons of Monorepos for Full-Stack Projects
Monorepos are popular, but are they right for your team? In this article, I compare monorepos and polyrepos across several dimensions:
- Code sharing and dependency management
- CI/CD complexity
- Tooling (Turborepo, Nx, Lerna)
- Team autonomy and scaling
- Versioning and release strategies
I also share my experience migrating a multi-repo project to a monorepo and the lessons learned.
