Monorepo Architecture

Organization of code in a monorepo is suitable for scalable projects.

A monorepo (monorepository) is a strategy for managing code where all the code from many projects is stored in one repository. Unlike the multirepo approach, where each project has its own separate repository, a monorepo allows shared code usage, dependency management, and simplifies coordination between teams.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

When does a Monorepo approach suit you: several related projects?

Monorepo approach suits you when you have several related projects, shared code between projects, the need for atomic changes, many teams working together. It also works well for microservice architectures where services are interconnected or for projects with shared UI components. It doesn't suit independent projects without shared code.

Migration includes: creating a new mono?

Migration includes: creating a new monorepository, moving projects into packages/apps folders, configuring workspaces in package.json, replacing external dependencies with workspace protocol, configuring build tools (Turborepo/Nx), updating CI/CD, and gradual team migration.
