Monorepo Management

Handles the nuts and bolts of monorepo setups with Lerna, Turborepo, and Nx. You get workspace configuration, dependency hoisting, build caching, and CI/CD pipeline filtering so you're not rebuilding everything when one package changes. The reference guides cover npm workspaces, version management strategies, and cross-package testing. Most useful when you're managing multiple interdependent packages or running microservices that share common libraries. The workspace protocol patterns and cache configuration alone will save you hours of build time once you're dealing with more than a handful of packages.
