Monorepo Tools Ratios Over Time

Used at Work

It should be no surprise that many monorepo tools are used by large companies since company size often correlates with codebase size.

Which of these tools do you use in a professional context?
We asked members of the JavaScript community to share their “pick of the year”

My 2024 Pick: Rspack

The Rspack bundler is an almost drop-in replacement for Webpack. Implemented in Rust, it's much faster than Webpack and consumes less memory. All Webpack projects should try it out immediately, considering how easy it is to adopt!
