What bento is

Bento is an open-source monorepo orchestrator for coordinating software work across multiple language ecosystems. It can plan, build, test, lint, deploy, and cache tasks, with a task graph to track work and affected builds. Its content-addressed cache includes 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; its package-manager list also includes pip and uv. Deployment documentation describes connections for Railway, Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, and Cloudflare Workers. Bento includes an MCP server for coding-agent clients such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, Zed, and Windsurf. Environment profiles keep aliases for secret-variable names rather than the secret values. Bento supports Linux, macOS, Windows, and self-hosted setups. The 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. When an organization exceeds its storage cap, uploads stop while reads continue.
