Understand the implications of the alternatives

Having perspective on a problem and its possible solutions gives a better view of the implications specific to each alternative.

In the case of the repo, this allows us to identify the pros and cons while remaining factual.

Quality, Speed, Complexity are the axes of evaluation in Quality Engineering.

Without debating for hours, the Multirepo has a notch of complexity superior to the Monorepo by the distribution inherent in the model.

Distributed architectures — although compatible in both models — have largely contributed to…
