What is a monorepo and when should you use one?
A monorepo is a single repository that contains multiple projects, packages, or services. Instead of separate repos for your frontend, backend, and shared libraries, everything lives together with shared tooling and dependencies. Tools like Turborepo, Nx, and pnpm workspaces make monorepos practical at scale. Use one when your projects share code, need coordinated releases, or when context-switching between repos creates friction.

What is cloud-native architecture?
Cloud-native architecture is an approach to building and running applications that fully exploits the cloud computing model. Applications are designed as microservices, packaged in containers, orchestrated dynamically (typically with Kubernetes), and managed through DevOps automation. The goal is resilience, scalability, and speed of deployment — not just running on cloud servers, but being built for them.
