I’ve seen monorepos scale up to about ~100 engineers (maybe 150 or 10-20 teams?) in a good eng culture.
After that, actors become unpredictable. I’d bet monolithic repos get out of hand and are better off splintering at that point.
My intuition is that splitting repos with fewer than 100 to 150 active contributors is a mistake.
