The Best Platforms for Monorepo Deployments in 2026

Angelo Saraceno provides an in-depth exploration of monorepo platforms, emphasizing the distinctions between build orchestration and deployment platforms, and the common mistake of conflating the two. Drawing from his experiences at Citrix and his current role at Railway, he highlights the importance of understanding the specific needs of a monorepo setup, whether it involves tools like Turborepo, Nx, or Bazel for build orchestration, or deployment platforms such as Railway, Vercel, and Render. Saraceno stresses that an effective monorepo strategy requires selecting complementary tools from each category rather than trying to use a single tool for all purposes. He discusses various platforms' features, pricing, and trade-offs, offering guidance tailored to teams based on their size, technological stack, and operational preferences. Through this analysis, he aims to assist teams in making informed decisions about their monorepo infrastructure, ultimately enhancing their development and deployment workflows.
