The paper does not compare or evaluate this "commitment". It is a data point that monorepo scales to 86TB provided you heavily invest in infrastructure to support it. This is significant as many would have considered that "impossible" as in "it is impossible to make git scale to 86TB".
We don't know if the monorepo approach is worth it. Google believes it is (Facebook as well). Many others don't. The manyrepo approach also has advantages.
- DanielBMarkham 10y agoFTA, "...Over the years, as the investment required to continue scaling the centralized repository grew, Google leadership occasionally considered whether it would make sense to move from the monolithic model. Despite the effort required, Google repeatedly chose to stick with the central repository due to its advantages..." The article goes into detail about both benefits and drawbacks. The manyrepo approach also has advantages. Care to elaborate on any of these? (aside from the obvious "works fast on my machine")
