Turborepo is an open-source incremental build orchestrator for JavaScript/TypeScript monorepos, acquired by Vercel in 2021.

It analyses the dependency graph between packages in a monorepo, caches the results of every task (build, test, lint) locally and remotely, and only re-runs what actually changed. On monorepos with hundreds of packages, the CI time savings can be an order of magnitude.

It competes with Nx (Nrwl) with a more minimalist philosophy. Since 2024, Turborepo relies on Turbopack for Next.js builds.
