What Hacker News says

Not caching tasks is kind of a huge missing feature. Once you can describe a graph of tasks with dependencies, not running already clean dependencies is how you make that tractable for repeated runs even in moderate-sized monorepos. I went looking for an issue to see if they're planning it, but the Mise repo doesn't have issues enabled? And no discussion on the README about why they don't. That doesn't inspire confidence. If you're in a single-language npm monorepo, check out Wireit. It extends plain npm scripts to be able to have dependencies and caching (local and GitHub actions). It also has a unique service type of script for long-running tasks that lets you rebuild dependencies and no restart services. https://github.com/google/wireit/

spankalee·May 28, 2025Recommendation phrase
For those of you working in Node and npm, npm has pretty good built-in support for monorepos now with the workspaces feature. The big missing thing is incremental builds, which I highly recommend looking at Google's Wireit project for: https://github.com/google/wireit/ Wireit is the smallest change from plain npm that gets you a real dependency graph of scripts, caching (with GitHub Actions support), incremental script running, and services.
