Modern Monorepo Architecture with Pnpm Workspaces

Catalog dependencies, shared configurations, and fast CI runs.

2025-05-11

Managing multiple packages in a single repository requires disciplined structure and reliable tooling.

Pnpm Workspaces Setup

Here is a clean pnpm-workspace.yaml layout:

packages:
  - 'apps/*'
  - 'packages/*'
  - '!**/test/**'

Deduplication: Hard links save gigabytes of disk space across packages.
Strict Isolation: Phantom dependencies are prevented by default.
Catalogs: Centralize versions of shared dependencies in pnpm-workspace.yaml.
