Compared to what? Not having a monorepo? Sure, but you run into different issues with that approach. Eden is the best solution there is for a monorepo of this size.

Yeah compared to not having a monorepo and buying more SSDs. The separate repos are much nicer to work in, but harder for the infra folks to manage. I miss having dataswarm as a separate repo. I will miss IG’s.

I understand the tradeoff. That doesn’t mean it’s “fast”. It’s slow but the other alternatives are slower.
