Reviewer scorecard
“Self-hosted option with complete CI/CD and security scanning. The single-platform approach reduces tool sprawl.”
“Revived by the Nx team and better than ever. The standard for publishing multiple npm packages from a monorepo.”
“If you need self-hosted git with built-in CI/CD, GitLab is the clear choice. The all-in-one approach saves integration headaches.”
“Was nearly dead, but Nx's stewardship brought it back. For npm publishing workflows, it's still the go-to.”
“GitHub's ecosystem and Actions marketplace have won the mindshare battle. GitLab is strong for enterprise self-hosted.”
“Nx and Turborepo are the future of monorepo tooling. Lerna is a legacy tool that works but isn't innovating.”
