In their own words
Turborepo
Turborepo is a build system for JavaScript and TypeScript codebases, including monorepos and single-package workspaces. It organizes tasks into a graph and runs them in parallel across available cores. Task outputs and logs can be cached locally, while Remote Caching allows cache artifacts to be shared across machines. Vercel Remote Cache is free on all Vercel plans, including for teams that do not host applications on Vercel; teams can also self-host a remote cache using an HTTP server that implements the Remote Caching API. Remote artifacts can be signed with HMAC-SHA256 and checked when downloaded. The CLI is generally supported on Debian-based Linux, macOS, and Windows for x86_64 and ARM64. Stable package-manager support includes pnpm 8+, npm 8+, Yarn 1+ including Plug’n’Play, and Bun 1.2+. CI guides cover Vercel, GitHub Actions, CircleCI, GitLab CI, Travis CI, and Buildkite. Turborepo is free. To cache task files, outputs must be declared in configuration. Individuals can seek free help in GitHub Discussions or Vercel Community; companies can contact Vercel about paid support.
