NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar.

Trial
Worth pursuing. It is important to understand how to build up this capability. Enterprises should try this technology on a project that can handle the risk.
Over the years we've debated several times whether to feature monorepos in the Radar. Each time we ended up concluding that the trade-offs introduced by monorepos require a nuanced discussion and the technique is "too complex to blip." Now we're seeing increased interest in monorepos in the JavaScript community, for example, for building applications composed of micro frontends, as discussed in this podcast episode. Whether this is a good idea depends a lot on your situation, and we certainly don't want to give a general recommendation. What we do want to comment on is the tooling. In our teams we see a shift away from Lerna and a strong preference to use Nx for managing JavaScript-based monorepos.
