bento
What it is
Bento is an open-source monorepo orchestrator for planning, building, testing, linting, deploying, and caching work across multiple language ecosystems. Its task graph helps coordinate work and identify affected builds. The content-addressed cache has local and GitHub Actions options, plus hosted or self-hosted remote tiers. Built-in adapters cover Go, Rust, Python, Ruby, PHP, Maven, Gradle, npm, pnpm, yarn, Bun, and Deno; the package-manager list also includes pip and uv. Deployment documentation describes integrations with Railway, Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, and Cloudflare Workers. Bento also ships an MCP server for agent clients including Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, Zed, and Windsurf. Environment profiles hold aliases for secret-variable names rather than secret values. The software supports Linux, macOS, Windows, and self-hosted setups. Its Free plan is free and includes 10 GB stored with 14-day retention. The hosted cache is in closed beta and requires access; other published tiers are planned pricing, not active prices.
