Rush

What it does: Rush is a scalable monorepo manager for JavaScript developers who build and publish many packages from a common Git repository.
Orchestration: Rush can install, link, build, generate change logs, publish packages, and bump versions.
Builds: Rush supports parallel, subset, incremental, and distributed builds.
Dependency management: Rush installs dependencies into a common folder and uses symlinks to reconstruct a node_modules folder for each project.
Package managers: The Rush installation algorithm supports PNPM, NPM, and Yarn.
Release management: Rush can gather change files, update package versions and changelogs, and publish packages to an npm registry.
Extensibility: Rush plugins can share configuration across monorepos, extend Rush features, and prototype features; the plugin framework is marked experimental.
Integrations: The Rush documentation includes integration guides for Sparo and Mergify, and lists Amazon S3 and Azure Storage build-cache plugins.
Intended users: Rush is presented for JavaScript developers consolidating many projects or packages into a single repository, including large teams maintaining large repositories.
Prerequisite: The getting-started demo states that NodeJS is the only prerequisite and installs Rush with npm install -g @microsoft/rush.
Support: Microsoft does not provide official support for Rush; the documentation points users to GitHub issues and a Rush Stack Zulip chat room for community help.
Security or compliance: Rush documentation describes repo policies for reviewing new package dependencies and enforcing consistent dependency versions.
Project boundaries: The FAQ says project folders remain self-contained, can be built without Rush, and can be moved to a separate repository without code changes.
Operating systems: The contribution instructions show Rush development and testing commands for Mac OS, Linux, and Windows.
Price from: Free
