Monorepo :

• Soo monorepo used in application that have many sub applications involved
• It basically keeps all the microservices in one repo itself
• keeping them independent but also gives them an option to share certain resource multiple application need decreasing code duplication

How are Monorepos created and managed ??

• So we keep all repos in one folder and then use a management tool
• that tool is provided by nx or turborepo etc
• pnpm is used widely here to create the structure

Standard Architecture Of Monorepo

• Mainly There will be 2 folders
  • apps : contain all the application the company is working with
  • packages : contain the shared resources
    • shared code : configs ,lints ,compilers
    • shared ui

Concepts involved in Monorepo are :

• Task ordering : decides which code compiles first ..usefull when there is dependency of one application on another
• caching
• parallelism
• incremental ci

Turborepo provides all the functionality by default. we can also create manually as well

npx create-turbo@latest my-monorepo
//command to initialize monorepo using turborepo

Understanding File Structure Of Monorepo

• The heart of the project which will be created is turbo.json it is the management tool we talked about earlier . (dont touch)
