We have a very large frontend in a monorepo, worked on by many different teams simultaneously. Moving to micro-frontends is impossible. How to minimize the risks of different teams affecting each other's work?

To minimize the risks of mutual influence of teams when working on a large frontend in a monorepo, the following approaches can be used:
-
Clear separation of responsibilities. Define code zones responsible for each team and restrict their rights to modify others' areas.
-
Modularity and component isolation. Structure the project so that components are as independent as possible, with clearly defined APIs and contracts.
-
Code review and automated checks. Implement strict review processes to prevent changes from breaking others' functionality, and use linters and tests.
-
Automated testing and CI/CD. Set up test coverage and continuous integration to quickly identify regressions.
-
Use of feature flags. Allows enabling and disabling new features without risking the entire system.
-
Documentation and communication. Regular meetings, common coding standards, and documentation help avoid conflicts.
Example of a structure with component isolation:
/src
/teamA
/components
/utils
/teamB
/components
/utils
/shared
/ui-kit
/utils
This way, teams work in their folders and minimally intersect.
