2. Tool choices

Context

We want to follow a monorepo structure while simplifying as much as possible the developer experience with an environment which should be as reproducible as possible.

Decision

A set of tools to automate recurring tasks:

• Task: to simplify running tasks in any environment.

• Buf: to generate code from protobuf schemas. This is a drop-in replacement of the protobuf generators which simplifies the integration of external and common protobuf packages.

Consequences

• A new tool has to be installed by each developer
• There is a bit of an overlap between Taskfiles and the CI pipeline, but as they still have different use cases, it doesn't feel like completely repeated code.
