summary

This blog post discusses the concept of monorepositories and challenges the common belief that they automatically lead to better scalability in software development. The author argues that while monorepositories have gained popularity, they may not be the right solution for every project. The post explores the pros and cons of monorepositories and highlights the trade-offs that need to be considered. It emphasizes that while monorepositories can provide benefits such as simplified dependency management and centralized code ownership, they may also introduce challenges like increased complexity and longer build times. The author concludes that the choice between monorepositories and other approaches should be based on careful consideration of the specific project's requirements and needs.
