lerna

Lerna is a tool for managing JavaScript projects with multiple packages. It optimizes the workflow around managing multi-package repositories with git and npm. Compared to @nrwl/js, Lerna is more focused on managing multiple packages rather than providing a full suite of development tools.

turborepo

Turborepo is a high-performance build system for JavaScript and TypeScript codebases. It offers features like remote caching, parallel execution, and incremental builds. While @nrwl/js is part of the Nx ecosystem and integrates deeply with it, Turborepo is a standalone tool that can be integrated into various workflows.
