Monorepos will ruin your life – but they're worth it

"If not managed correctly, monorepos can cause the build process to take just short of an eternity."

DAG Pipelines to the rescue! Even our horrific 40+ services with 5+ React apps monorepo only takes 10 minutes to build because we build everything in parallel!

> only takes 10 minutes

Is this a joke? That’s so long! I feel like 1 minute is too long since I lose my train of thought and get distracted

You ever work on a large C++ project and have to do a clean build? Expect up to an hour or more.

I'd love to see a certain pipeline I use to get under 20 minutes!

> 40+ services

Those are rookie numbers! We have literally 1000s of services and apps in one single monorepo. A full build in parallel takes upwards of 12 hours.
