Why does the build not work at 500 engineers? Just because there are 5 apps / services and their 25 libraries doesn't mean you have build the 4 other apps when doing development just because you did a git pull. Libraries would still need to build their dependants in a CI system with poly or mono repos.

The 5 apps and their 25 libraries are in fact one entangled monolith. That is what I am talking about. It is only marketed as 5 apps. That has some hundreds external dependencies, of course.
