At 20 packages that is annoying. At 200 packages it burns hours of engineer time and turns every merge into a coin flip on whether the shared cache is warm. Monorepo build tools exist to kill exactly this waste, and in 2026 the JavaScript ecosystem has settled on three serious contenders: <strong>Nx (29,318 stars)</strong>, <strong>Turborepo (31,069 stars)</strong>, and <strong>Rush (part of the Microsoft Rush Stack, 6,495 stars)</strong>. All three are open source, all three are MIT-licensed, and all three were pushed within the last 48 hours — but they approach the problem from surprisingly different angles.</p>
