> My previous job was doing microservices for frontend and current job is doing monorepos. I prefer monorepo for frontend because:

I think you're misusing the term "monorepo", no? Monorepo is just a technique for organizing source control repositories. It's possible to have microservices AND monorepos.

You're probably thinking of "monolith".

While I agree with your analysis, do we have a good word for lots of little repos?

ie microservices : monolith and ?? : monorepo

"Multirepo" is the term I see the most

[swsieber]

Thanks! I saw 'polyrepo' too, but multirepo sounds more intuitive.

'submodules' too, but which further implies a) git; b) there's a (CD/infrastructure?) repo which collates the pieces.

Surely micro repos would be more fitting (although probably a terrible idea)

You're right. At least for frontend they go hand in hand.
