TypeScript Monorepos: Designing and Building Maintainable Codebases

As applications grow, managing separate repositories for your frontend and backend becomes a maintenance bottleneck. Transitioning to a TypeScript monorepo allows you to share code, manage dependencies efficiently, and streamline your entire development workflow. This text-based course guides you through the foundational concepts and practical steps of architecting a TypeScript monorepo. You will learn how to unify separate applications—such as Svelte frontends and Node backend services—into a single, cohesive codebase where packages link seamlessly and tasks execute with dependency awareness. What you'll learn: • Understand the core concepts, benefits, and trade-offs of monorepo architecture • Configure package workspaces to link local libraries and applications seamlessly • Share TypeScript types and configurations across frontend and backend services • Set up dependency-aware task execution to optimize builds and tests • Manage third-party dependencies efficiently to prevent version conflicts • Apply modern monorepo tooling patterns to keep your codebase clean and scalable. You will start with key terminology and foundational configuration files before progressing to step-by-step refactoring exercises. Through clear written explanations and structured code snippets, you will learn how to connect independent services into a unified, high-performance workspace. This course is designed for web developers and software engineers who are new to monorepos but have a basic understanding of TypeScript and JavaScript development.
