We have a very large front in the monorepo, with many different teams working simultaneously. We cannot migrate to micro-frontends. How can we minimize the risks of different teams affecting each other's work?

To minimize the risks of mutual influence between teams in a large frontend monorepository without transitioning to micro frontends, the following approaches can be used:

  • Clear separation of responsibilities and code areas. Break the project into independent modules or packages with well-defined APIs and contracts.
  • Use of linting and static analysis. Set up rules that prevent accidental changes to others' code parts.
  • Automated test coverage and CI/CD. Each commit should pass tests to quickly identify regressions.
  • Code review and style agreements. Mandatory reviews help control quality and prevent conflicting changes.
  • Feature flags and gradual release. Allow isolating new features and minimizing impact on others.
  • Documentation and communication. Regular synchronization between teams to understand who is responsible for what.

Example structure of modules in a monorepo:

/src
  /common-components
  /feature-a
  /feature-b
  /utils

Each team works in its own folder, and shared components are changed only through agreed processes.
