February Webinar - 

Why Monorepos are King in the Age of AI

Wednesday, February 18th, 2026 | 11am PT/2pm ET/7pm UTC
Presented by Jeff Cross & Juri Strumpflohner

Monorepo architecture has evolved significantly in the past few years, yet the landscape remains genuinely confusing with inconsistent definitions, rapidly changing tooling, and implementation patterns that vary wildly across organizations. Meanwhile, teams adopting AI coding assistants are discovering that modern monorepo tooling is uniquely suited to solve the exact coordination challenges they're now facing. For engineering leaders navigating this rapidly transforming space, understanding the advantages of monorepo capabilities can unlock substantial velocity gains (even if a full migration is not in the cards).

This webinar will provide a clear framework for understanding monorepos in 2026, cutting through the noise to explain how they deliver measurable impact. Particularly for organizations working to ship at AI-accelerated speeds.

What You'll Learn:

• Navigating the Monorepo Landscape We'll address the legitimate questions engineering leaders are asking: concerns about complexity, tooling choices, and whether monorepos only work at massive scale. The terminology and implementation patterns have evolved so quickly that even experienced leaders are working with incomplete or outdated mental models. We'll establish clarity on what's changed and what matters.
  
  
• What Actually Defines a Monorepo (and What Doesn't) Not every shared repository is a monorepo, and not all monorepos look like Google's. We'll establish clear definitions around what makes a monorepo a monorepo and why the benefits aren't tied to a single implementation pattern, cutting through the definitional confusion that makes evaluation difficult.
  
  
• The Synthetic Monorepo Evolution A brief introduction to how modern infrastructure enables monorepo benefits without monolithic repositories, bridging the gap between polyrepo autonomy and monorepo coordination—an evolution that many leaders haven't yet considered.
  
  
• Performance at Any Scale Examples of where monorepos deliver performance gains regardless of organization size, including atomic changes, graph-based testing, and intelligent caching that eliminates redundant work. Benefits that scale down as effectively as they scale up.
  
  
• AI-Era Velocity Code generated at 10x speed breaks traditional polyrepo coordination, but monorepo architecture can prevent AI from creating chaos instead of value. We'll provide a live demonstration of an AI agent executing a cross-project change in a polyrepo vs. a monorepo that'll illustrate exactly why architecture matters more than ever.

If you're navigating cross-repo coordination challenges, looking to maximize value from your AI coding tools, or wondering whether it's time to reevaluate your repository strategy with fresh eyes, this webinar will give you the framework to make an informed decision.

This webinar will include time for live Q&A and will be available to all registrants afterward as a recording.
