Monorepo vs Polyrepo: Which Repository Strategy is Right for Your Team?

Monorepo vs Polyrepo

Shifting from a monorepo to a polyrepo isn't just a matter of splitting code it's a rewrite of your entire developer workflow. Dependency boundaries, shared libraries, and tightly coupled CI/CD pipelines often make the transition painful. In this post, we explore when each model works best, why companies like Facebook and Netflix took different paths, and what to consider before making the switch.

Why Trunk-Based Development Is Key to Successful Continuous Delivery

continuous delivery with trunk based development

Trunk-based development enables faster, more reliable software deployment by making frequent, small commits to the main branch. This approach minimizes integration issues, supports continuous delivery, and enhances stability through automation, feature flags, and short-lived branches. This blog explores how trunk-based development aligns with CI/CD pipelines and offers best practices and tools to optimize workflows and maintain build stability.

Impact of Flaky Tests in Merge Queue

Flaky tests, which fail unpredictably without changes in code or environment, can cause significant delays in development. They disrupt merge queues by blocking valid pull requests, leading to resets, wasted resources, and frustration among developers. Merge queues are designed to streamline the integration process, but flaky tests undermine their efficiency. Tools like Aviator MergeQueue help manage these challenges with features such as parallel testing and early validation. By addressing flaky tests and stabilizing testing environments, teams can ensure smoother workflows and more reliable CI/CD pipelines.
