It's simply unfeasible to do that. The best you can do is blue-green deployments with a monorepo but you will still need at least data backwards compatibility to be able to roll back any change. The only thing you gain with blue-green deployments is slightly easier API evolution.

Nit: you need backward compatibility to roll out the new change. You need forward compatibility to roll it back. Right?

  Yes, but usually you need both.

    Oh, agreed. My point was it was easy for folks to think they are safe because they have backwards compatibility, when they actually need both if they are concerned with running a rollback.
