Turborepo

This item was not updated in last three versions of the Radar. Should it have appeared in one of the more recent editions, there is a good chance it remains pertinent. However, if the item dates back further, its relevance may have diminished and our current evaluation could vary. Regrettably, our capacity to consistently revisit items from past Radar editions is limited.
Adopt

When possible we prefer to use a monorepo solution in our teams using the monorepo tool Turborepo. We believe using such a monorepo helps us to improve our development experience, productivity and software quality.

Trial

We are trialling Turborepo to see if it can become our preferred monorepo solution.

Turborepo is made by Vercel, who are also the creators of Next.js, and the out-of-the-box integration provided between these frameworks and services can be decisive factor, while still taking into account other considerations such as a strong dependency on Vercel.

We also considered the Nx monorepo framework but after having trialed it we feel that Turborepo is a better fit for our needs.
