Multi Repo
Multi Repo is a software development approach where code for a project is split across multiple, independent version control repositories, each managed separately. This contrasts with a monorepo, where all code resides in a single repository. It allows teams to work on different components or services in isolation, with their own release cycles and access controls.
Developers should use Multi Repo when building modular systems, microservices architectures, or when different teams need autonomy over their codebases. It's beneficial for large organizations with diverse projects, as it enables independent deployment, reduces repository size, and allows for varied technology stacks per repository. However, it can introduce complexity in dependency management and cross-repository changes.
