I don't think I've ever seen "because your mono-repo is too big for git" used as an argument for micro-services, but maybe at this point it's valid.

  You can put microservices in a monorepo. You just put them in their own folder.

    Of course, but can you split a monolith across multiple repos?
    • isaacremuant 4y ago
      Yes. With git submodules.

      Sure. It'd drastically complicate the build process and CI for little benefit compared to other approaches (e.g. sparse checkout), but you could even in principle create a repo for each code directory and stitch them all together.

        >It'd drastically complicate the build process and CI This is a part of most monorepos. I figure having only a single build artifact is rare.
