Engineering Mastermind #9: Monrepos in Frontend Development

Описание: In this Mastermind we will look at “monorepos”, a software development approach where all of the code for a project is stored in a single repository. This is in contrast to a "polyrepo" approach, where code for different parts of a project is stored in separate repositories. Monorepos are often used in large-scale software projects, where it can be useful to have all of the code in a single place for ease of management and coordination.

This Mastermind will examine some of these pros and cons of monorepos, and provide an example of how Lerna, a JavaScript tool can be used to build monorepos.

The Mastermind is conducted by Chnadrakanth (https://bit.ly/3kHpghr), currently a Software Engineer at Twilio, and previously a Frontend Developer at ThoughtWorks.
