Monorepo Tooling — Full Course Syllabus

Managing multi-package JavaScript/TypeScript repositories — workspaces, build caching, and versioning.

1. 1. pnpm workspacepnpm's workspace mechanism for managing dependencies and linking packages inside a monorepo.
2. 2. npm workspacesnpm's built-in workspaces feature to manage multiple packages in one repository.
3. 3. Yarn workspacesYarn's workspace feature for hoisting and linking packages within a monorepo.
4. 4. Monorepo pre-commit and shared linting configurationRepository-level pre-commit hooks and shared linting configuration to enforce consistent code quality.
5. 5. Local dev DX in monoreposPatterns to keep fast local iteration: dev servers, selective bootstrapping, and lightweight mocks.
6. 6. Developer onboarding checklist for large frontendsAtomic steps and scripts to get new developers productive in a monorepo/microfrontend environment.
7. 7. Dependency upgrade automation in monoreposUsing bots (Dependabot/etc.) and automated tests to safely keep frontend dependencies up to date in a monorepo.
8. 8. Shared component librariesPublishing and consuming UI component packages from a monorepo for reuse across microfrontends.
9. 9. Lerna versioning & publishingLerna's role in versioning and publishing packages from a monorepo.
10. 10. Nx monorepo dependency graph & affected tasksNx's dependency graph, affected builds, and task orchestration for monorepos.
11. 11. Turborepo caching and remote cachingTurborepo's caching and remote caching strategies to speed up monorepo CI and local builds.
12. 12. Atomic package versioning strategies in monoreposAtomic strategies for versioning packages in monorepos (fixed, independent, semantic-release basics).
13. 13. Monorepo CI pipeline orchestration (affected builds/tests)Configuring CI to run only affected builds/tests/tasks in a monorepo using dependency graphs.
14. 14. Incremental builds and cachingBuild caching and incremental compilation techniques to speed local and CI builds in large repos.
15. 15. Selective deploymentDeploying only changed microfrontends or packages instead of the entire product to reduce risk and latency.
16. 16. Monorepo migration with TypeScript project references and JestUsing TypeScript project references and Jest configurations to migrate in a monorepo.
17. 17. Shared runtime dependency versioningStrategies for managing incompatible dependency versions across microfrontends (peer deps, federation, shims).
