Gulp is a toolkit for automating painful or time-consuming tasks in your development workflow. It is similar to @netlify/build in that it allows you to define and run build tasks, but it is more general-purpose and not specifically tied to Netlify.
grunt
Grunt is a JavaScript task runner that helps automate repetitive tasks like minification, compilation, unit testing, and linting. Like @netlify/build, it can be used to manage build processes, but it is not specific to Netlify and offers a broader range of task automation.
