I was just curious, is there any difference between multirepo architecture and microservices?

[aditya]

You can think of microservices as a software design architecture where the aim is to keep maximum parts of code independent/ loosely coupled.

On the other hand, monorepo and multirepo can be seen as a code management architecture.

A software following the microservices architecture can be implemented/ managed as a monorepo as well as multirepo. Let me know if this clears the difference

Yeah i got it, thanks.
But i am not aware about microrepo, is it like using single repo for multiple projects?

[aditya]

Yes, I meant monorepo

It is similar to using a single repository for independent projects. Bazel is an open source example of monorepo architecture
