Hybrid Poly-As-Mono Approach

On the other hand, in a monorepo environment, we cannot release a new version of a library that breaks some other library, as your tests will fail. In this case, the first team must communicate with the second to incorporate the changes.

This approach forces teams to adapt all libraries together whenever a change needs to be made to a single library. All teams are forced to talk to each other and come up with a joint solution.

As a result, the first team won't be able to iterate taiwan whatsapp number data as quickly as they'd like, but the code from different libraries won't start to diverge at any point.

In short, the multi-repo approach can help create a “move fast and break things” culture across teams, where independent, agile teams can produce their results at their speed. In contrast, the mono-repo approach fosters a culture of awareness and care, where teams should not be left behind to solve a problem on their own.

If we cannot decide whether to use the multi-repo or monorepo approach, there is also the intermediate approach: using multiple repositories and employing some tool to keep them synchronized, resembling a monorepo but with more flexibility.

Meta is one such tool. It organizes multiple repositories into subdirectories and provides a command line interface that runs the same command on all of them simultaneously.

A meta-repository contains information about the repositories that make up a project. Cloning this repository via the meta-repository will recursively clone all the necessary repositories, making it easier for new team members to start working on their projects immediately.

To clone a meta-repository and all its defined multi-repositories, we need to run the following:
