Introduction to Workspace: Tools for Efficient Management of Elixir Monorepos

The content introduces 'Workspace,' an open-sourced set of tools created to manage Elixir monorepos efficiently. The toolset is inspired by Rust workspaces and nx.dev, intended to ease the cumbersome process of handling large monorepos. 'Workspace' is based on a concept called the workspace graph, a directed acyclic graph to manage project dependencies. It uses git to track file changes between revisions, thereby identifying which projects are affected. Key functionalities include running tasks on all or selected projects, thereby optimizing CI times, and a variety of checks to ensure project dependencies and configurations are maintained correctly. The tool also allows enforcing boundaries within the codebase and provides a scaffolder for creating new workspaces. Despite its stability, the project is still in its initial stages (version 0.x.x) and may undergo breaking changes.
