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.

A balanced look at monorepos vs. polyrepos for modern web development.
