Monorepo Workspaces

Share code safely across frontend/backend/apps while preserving clear ownership.

Recommended approach

Use pnpm workspaces with Turborepo pipelines for build/test/dev orchestration.

Alternatives and when to choose them

Multi-repo for strongly independent teams and release cadences.
Nx/Bazel-like platforms when monorepo scale requires stronger graph guarantees.

Implementation checklist

Define workspace boundaries (apps/*, packages/*).
Add turbo pipelines for dev, test, lint, and build.
Enforce package version consistency.

Common pitfalls

Shared package sprawl with no owners.
Missing dependency graph constraints causing implicit coupling.

Package Managers (pnpm and Bun)

Choose package management defaults that support workspace scale and CI efficiency.

Local HTTPS Proxy and Certs

Run multiple local services behind stable HTTPS domains for realistic local integration.
