Reviewer scorecard
“Self-hosted option with complete CI/CD and security scanning. The single-platform approach reduces tool sprawl.”
“Simple turbo.json config, powerful caching, and Vercel remote cache integration. The easiest monorepo build tool to adopt.”
“If you need self-hosted git with built-in CI/CD, GitLab is the clear choice. The all-in-one approach saves integration headaches.”
“Less complex than Nx with good-enough features for most monorepos. The remote cache with Vercel is seamless.”
“GitHub's ecosystem and Actions marketplace have won the mindshare battle. GitLab is strong for enterprise self-hosted.”
“Build caching and parallel execution are table stakes for monorepos. Turborepo makes them trivially easy.”
