When front, back, connectors and a data pipeline share types and logic, a well-tooled monorepo avoids drift between packages.
A real-time platform often combines several pieces: interface, API, connectors to external sources, data processing. Splitting them into separate repos multiplies desynchronisation.
What Turbo solves
A monorepo groups these packages, shares types and common logic, and orchestrates builds. Turbo caches tasks: you only rebuild what changed, locally and in CI.
Contracts between pieces become shared types. An API change breaks the client build immediately, not in production.
The sharing trap
Over-sharing creates coupling: one oversized common package and everything redeploys. You share stable contracts and utilities, not volatile business logic.
The monorepo is not an end, it is a consistency tool. It pays when the pieces evolve together.
