  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • turborepo

    Discontinued Incremental bundler and build system optimized for JavaScript and TypeScript, written in Rust – including Turborepo and Turbopack. [Moved to: https://github.com/vercel/turbo]

  • https://turborepo.org/ is pretty good.

  • rushstack

    Monorepo for tools developed by the Rush Stack community

  • Rush Stack. It’s an opinionated, batteries-included toolset for working with large monorepos. It’s highly extensible and pluggable, and has built-in support for a lot of common tasks. My team uses it at work to support a couple dozen projects and at this point I can’t imagine managing a monorepo without it. It has significant adoption within and support from Microsoft, and monthly public dev meetings with contributors from a number of other companies, so I really don’t think it’s going to disappear any time soon. From what I’ve seen, it’s a very healthy project that’s continuing to grow in support and adoption.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • rfcs

    Public change requests/proposals & ideation (by npm)

  • lerna-lite

    Subset of Lerna in a smaller & more modular project. Helps manage and publish multiple packages in a monorepo/workspace structure

  • I've just switched over to lerna-lite since I just need lerna's versioning and run support.
