Rebuild and deploy everything, what's the actual problem? Like the OP said, that's a scale issue and most projects don't have it.

Also building/testing is far more effective at finding dependencies than just going by repo structure. There are numerous package managers available to solve versioning if you need separate components.

100% agree with your entire comment. This is what we do with our monorepo now -- it turns out the rebuilding and deploying everything is actually just fine. If your application services are stateless and decoupled from your state stores, it's completely harmless. If you need to do something fancy, congrats! You're at scale -- enjoy it but remember that it's something rare.

Yes! This brings to mind Donald Knuth: "Premature optimization is the root of all evil."
