Reviewer scorecard
“Revived by the Nx team and better than ever. The standard for publishing multiple npm packages from a monorepo.”
“Single binary with auth, database, file storage, and real-time. Deploy your backend with one file. Incredible for small projects.”
“Was nearly dead, but Nx's stewardship brought it back. For npm publishing workflows, it's still the go-to.”
“The simplicity is its superpower. For prototypes, side projects, and small apps, nothing is faster to deploy.”
“Nx and Turborepo are the future of monorepo tooling. Lerna is a legacy tool that works but isn't innovating.”
“Single-binary backends democratize backend development. PocketBase proves you don't need cloud services for small apps.”
