Advanced tools
Turborepo is a high-performance build system for JavaScript and TypeScript codebases.
Package description
The 'turbo' npm package is a high-performance build system and package manager for JavaScript and TypeScript codebases. It is designed to enable efficient and incremental builds by leveraging computation caching and parallel execution. Turbo is part of the Turborepo toolset, which is used for managing monorepos.
Efficient Caching
Turbo uses advanced caching mechanisms to avoid redundant work. It caches the outputs of commands and only re-executes them when necessary, which can significantly speed up the build process in large codebases.
n/aParallel Execution
The tool can run tasks in parallel across multiple cores, making full use of modern multi-core CPUs to reduce build times.
n/aRemote Caching
Turbo supports remote caching, allowing teams to share cache artifacts across different machines, which can be particularly useful for continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) pipelines.
n/aMonorepo Support
Turbo is designed with monorepos in mind, providing features to manage dependencies and build processes across multiple packages within a single repository.
n/aLerna is a popular tool for managing JavaScript projects with multiple packages. It optimizes the workflow around managing multi-package repositories with git and npm. Lerna can also run npm scripts in parallel, but it does not have the same focus on performance and caching as Turbo.
Nx is another powerful build framework that provides similar features to Turbo, such as computation caching and parallel execution. Nx also offers a rich set of tools for code generation and an extensible plugin system. It is designed for full-stack development and supports a wide range of technologies beyond JavaScript and TypeScript.
Rush is a scalable build orchestrator for monorepos, which includes incremental build support, package management, and the ability to manage multiple JavaScript and TypeScript projects. Rush focuses on providing a comprehensive solution for large monorepos, including policy enforcement and integration with various package managers.
Bazel is a multi-language build tool that supports a variety of programming languages and platforms. It offers advanced features like incremental builds, parallel execution, and remote caching. Bazel is known for its scalability and performance, and while it is not specific to JavaScript, it can be used for complex JavaScript projects.
