In a multi-repo setup you can upgrade gradually though, tackling the services that need the upgrade the most first. Can you do that in a monorepo setup?

In a multi-repo setup you can upgrade gradually..

This also means services can be left to rot for years because they don't need to be upgraded, while all the infrastructure changes around them, which is a giant pain when you do eventually need to change something.

If you have a multi repo architecture you absolutely need both clear ownership of everything and well planned maintenance.

The total pain is the same though.
