Reviewer scorecard
“Types from server to client with zero code generation. The DX is magical — change a server type, client updates instantly.”
“Simple turbo.json config, powerful caching, and Vercel remote cache integration. The easiest monorepo build tool to adopt.”
“For TypeScript full-stack apps, tRPC eliminates an entire category of bugs. No schemas, no codegen, just types.”
“Less complex than Nx with good-enough features for most monorepos. The remote cache with Vercel is seamless.”
“tRPC proved that type-safe APIs don't need schemas or code generation. The idea is being adopted everywhere.”
“Build caching and parallel execution are table stakes for monorepos. Turborepo makes them trivially easy.”
