Reviewer scorecard
“10x faster package installs, native TypeScript, and built-in test runner. It's replacing Node.js in my new projects.”
“Simple turbo.json config, powerful caching, and Vercel remote cache integration. The easiest monorepo build tool to adopt.”
“Speed is real and measurable. Node.js compatibility is good enough for most projects. The future of JS runtimes.”
“Less complex than Nx with good-enough features for most monorepos. The remote cache with Vercel is seamless.”
“Bun is forcing Node.js to improve. Competition in runtimes benefits everyone. Speed + DX is the winning combination.”
“Build caching and parallel execution are table stakes for monorepos. Turborepo makes them trivially easy.”
