gulp vs Jetpack: What are the differences?
Developers describe gulp as "The streaming build system". Build system automating tasks: minification and copying of all JavaScript files, static images. More capable of watching files to automatically rerun the task when a file changes. On the other hand, Jetpack is detailed as "Webpack made more convenient". Jetpack wraps webpack to create a smoother developer experience. Jetpack can be used instead of webpack, webpack-cli, webpack-dev-server and webpack-dev-middleware without writing any configuration. Jetpack is a thin wrapper around webpack, and can be extended with any of the webpack configuration.
gulp and Jetpack belong to "JS Build Tools / JS Task Runners" category of the tech stack.
gulp and Jetpack are both open source tools. It seems that gulp with 31.3K GitHub stars and 4.41K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Jetpack with 1.31K GitHub stars and 18 GitHub forks.
