Poly Monorepos, the Best of the Two Worlds
summary
Shows how a central Nx-based dev kit (plugins, custom Nx presets, and a release pipeline) bootstraps and maintains many distributed monorepos, including a real case with 1,000 projects. Demonstrates concrete tools: generators and executors for unified codegen and task abstraction, infer configuration to remove duplication, CI-run conformance tests and a simple UI that reports percentages, plus migrations as code that run on remote repos. Claims these pieces let teams create, upgrade and validate repos automatically; applied successfully in production franchise-style orgs.
