Special Guests: Luis Vieira

In this episode, the React Round Up panelists talk to Luis Vieira about his “Building large scale react applications in a monorepo”. Luis works in Portugal at a company called FarFetch as a front-end architect where he works mostly on JavaScript and infrastructure. They talk about the rationale behind his article, shared components, and what Lerna is and what is does. They also touch on Semantic Versioning, the difference between monolithic application and a monorepo, and more!
