Monorepos and packages are not mutually exclusive. You can and should have many different projects in subfolders I'm your monorepo, each with their own builds and tests and artifacts (though hopefully somewhat standardized). The point is that now it's easy to release changes across multiple projects, integration test between them on a specific global patch, etc, without a whole pile of complex tooling.
- olingern 8y agoAgreed. When I wrote the parent comment, I was thinking of a time I prematurely abstracted an API wrapper to a private git repo and how painful simple, frequent changes were. Though, as you say and I commented below they’re not mutually exclusive. A wrapper or even an entirely separate service can exist alongside others. One dark side of this is being able to “reach inside” other parts of the monorepo and blur application boundaries.
