I just finished watching Why Google Stores Billions of Lines of Code in a Single Repository and honestly, while it looks intriguing, it also looks horrible.

I would only recommend a monorepo if you’re a company with at least 5,000+ engineers and can dedicate significant time to internal infra.
It’s funny because at least one FANG does not use monorepos and has no problem with them, in spite of being at the same scale or even perhaps larger than Facebook.
I wonder why anyone would feel compelled to suggest adopting a monorepo in a setting that makes them far harder to use and maintain.

Is it Amazon because they did a really good job at keeping teams separate (via APIs)?
