Monorepos have been around for a while but only recently gained popularity in the frontend community. Many developers are being confronted with them now and end up overwhelmed by the terminology and tooling. What are monorepos? Is it just about code colocation? Do I even need one, or is it a large enterprise / corporate thing?
Monorepos come with many benefits but also a lot of challenges. Easy incremental adoption & getting started quickly are just one aspect. Maintaining a healthy monorepo in the long run and keeping it growing and beneficial is a whole other task.
But luckily, there's tooling that can support you. In this talk, we're going to bring some clarity into the field of monorepos, what they are, why you might want to use one, and how to set them up to be successful in the long run.
