In this section, we are going to set up our monorepo, which will act as a base for our microfrontend apps. We will learn how to set up the right permissions and the necessary quality gates. Along the way, we will also learn about a couple of productivity tricks and plugins that improve the developer experience.

For this example and the rest of the chapters, we will use Nx as the monorepo to build our microfrontends as it allows you to build both a package-setup-style and an integrated-style monorepo. You can equally choose either Lerna or Turborepo to build your microfrontends.
