Reviewer scorecard
“Deno 2's Node.js compatibility changes everything. Secure by default, great tooling, and now practical for real projects.”
“Simple turbo.json config, powerful caching, and Vercel remote cache integration. The easiest monorepo build tool to adopt.”
“Deno 2 finally delivers on the promise. npm compatibility means you can actually use it without friction.”
“Less complex than Nx with good-enough features for most monorepos. The remote cache with Vercel is seamless.”
“Security-first runtime design is correct for the AI era where you're running untrusted code. Deno Deploy is compelling.”
“Build caching and parallel execution are table stakes for monorepos. Turborepo makes them trivially easy.”
