Turbo Repo

Turborepo is a high-performance build system for JavaScript and TypeScript codebases.

Evaluation

Pros

• High Performance: Designed for high-speed builds with incremental caching, reducing unnecessary rebuilds.
• Easy Setup: Quick to set up and integrate into existing workflows, with a simpler learning curve.
• Modularity: Excels in projects with diverse, independent packages, supporting parallel development.
• Support for Mixed Environments: Can handle both monorepo and multi-repo setups, though with additional complexity.

Cons

• Limited Analysis: Only analyses package.json files to understand project relationships.
• No Project Boundary Rules: Lacks module boundary rules, which can lead to dependency issues in large monorepos.
