The reviews

Revived by the Nx team and better than ever. The standard for publishing multiple npm packages from a monorepo.

Helpful?

Was nearly dead, but Nx's stewardship brought it back. For npm publishing workflows, it's still the go-to.

Helpful?

Nx and Turborepo are the future of monorepo tooling. Lerna is a legacy tool that works but isn't innovating.
