Lerna

Product: Lerna is a fast, modern build system for managing and publishing multiple JavaScript and TypeScript packages from one repository.
Task execution: Lerna runs commands across projects in efficient order and in parallel, with caching and distribution across machines.
Caching: Lerna restores previously executed task files and terminal output from its computation cache instead of rerunning tasks.
Publishing: Lerna manages versioning and publishing packages to npm and supports fixed or independent versioning workflows.
Graph visualizer: Lerna includes an interactive workspace graph visualizer for understanding project architecture and dependencies.
Nx integration: Lerna uses Nx to detect workspace packages and dependencies and to run scripts with parallelism, caching, and distribution.
Dependency management: Lerna says package managers should install and link dependencies through their workspaces features rather than Lerna commands.
Nx Cloud pricing: Nx Cloud is free for open source projects; closed-source projects get the first 500 computation hours per month free and then pay $1 per computation hour.
Security: Nx Cloud stores hashed task inputs and cached results rather than actual code, supports end-to-end encryption, and offers self-hosted deployment through Enterprise.
Publishing security: Lerna 9.0.0 and later support npm OIDC trusted publishing so packages can publish without traditional fixed tokens.
Editor integrations: Nx Console provides Lerna users with Visual Studio Code and JetBrains integrations for task execution, generators, project details, and workspace visualization.
Support: The Nx Cloud Hobby plan includes community support, while the Team plan includes email support and Enterprise includes dedicated support and SLAs.
Stewardship: Nx took over stewardship of Lerna in 2022, and Nx is an open-source MIT-licensed build system developed by ex-Googlers.
