Introducing Kodem Monorepo Support

Kodem Monorepo Support
The perfect solution to reduce the complexity of a monorep while maintaining security

The challenges of a monorepo 

One of the shifts in engineering in recent years has been the move toward monorepos. The idea is straightforward: instead of juggling multiple repositories, each with its own dependencies and workflows, you consolidate everything into one large repository. In theory, this simplifies things—code sharing becomes easier, development workflows are unified, and everything is centralized. However, as with most things that seem simple in theory, reality is more complex.

Monorepos brings its own set of challenges, particularly in managing dependencies and maintaining security. Traditional tools weren’t built to handle the complexity of a monorepo. They miss things—vulnerabilities slip through the cracks, fixes are inconsistent, and the whole process can become a bottleneck. 

To address these issues, Kodem engineered Monorepo Support.

How Kodem’s Monorepo Support identifies issues and triages to reduce complexity

Monorepos are inherently complicated. You’re dealing with multiple projects, each with its own dependencies, all interwoven within a single repository. This complexity makes it challenging to get a clear view of what’s happening, which is crucial for securing the code. Kodem’s Monorepo Support is designed to cut through the complexity and provide a clear view.

‍

Kodem’s Monorepo Support doesn’t just scan your codebase for vulnerabilities. It gives you comprehensive visibility across all your projects, showing you how your package dependencies are connected and where the vulnerabilities are. It’s like turning on the lights in a dark room—you can see everything clearly and know exactly what needs to be addressed.

What Makes Kodem’s Monorepo Support Different

Most tools treat a monorepo like any other repository, which is a mistake. They miss the nuance. Kodem’s Monorepo Support understands that a monorepo is different. It’s specifically designed to analyze dependencies across multiple projects within a single repository. It accurately detects vulnerabilities and then offers precise, actionable suggestions on how to fix them.

Benefits of Monorepo and how Kodem stands out

Comprehensive Visibility

You get a full view of all package dependencies and their relationships across different projects. This eliminates the guesswork about which dependencies are connected or where a vulnerability might be hiding.

Precise Issue Identification‍

‍Kodem doesn’t just surface a list of potential issues—it pinpoints vulnerabilities specific to each project within the monorepo and provides a clear path to remediation.

Actionable Fix Suggestions‍

‍We don’t just tell you there’s a problem; we tell you exactly how to fix it. These suggestions are tailored to the structure of your monorepo, enabling quick and efficient security fixes.

Multi-Package Manager Compatibility

‍Monorepos often use multiple package managers, which can make dependency management a nightmare. Kodem handles this seamlessly, ensuring consistent security across the entire repository.

Comparison of Monerepo management tools

To truly understand what Kodem’s Monorepo Support offers, it’s helpful to compare it against other tools—like legacy SCA tools and code-scanner + reachability tools.
