How your Monorepo Breaks the IDE, and What We're Doing About It

Description

Dumping all your code into a single shared monorepository is all the rage. But our tooling is only catching up with the new paradigm. We’ll go over how large repositories and common patterns in them are breaking long-standing assumptions in IntelliJ IDEA in terms of project model, performance, and user experience. Then we will take a look at our current ideas and approaches to solving these problems in a monorepo world.
