Reviewer scorecard
“EAS Build, OTA updates, and the managed workflow eliminate the worst parts of mobile development. Indispensable.”
“Simple turbo.json config, powerful caching, and Vercel remote cache integration. The easiest monorepo build tool to adopt.”
“Expo has matured from toy to production platform. The config plugins and custom dev clients removed the old limitations.”
“Less complex than Nx with good-enough features for most monorepos. The remote cache with Vercel is seamless.”
“Expo is making React Native the default for mobile. Universal apps (web + mobile) from one codebase is the future.”
“Build caching and parallel execution are table stakes for monorepos. Turborepo makes them trivially easy.”
