Turborepo

Definitions

1. A high-performance build system for JavaScript and TypeScript monorepos (now maintained by Vercel) that analyzes the dependency graph between packages, runs tasks in parallel where possible, and uses content-addressable remote caching to skip work that has already been done — locally or across your team's CI machines.

   In plain English: A tool that makes building large multi-project codebases much faster by remembering previous results and only redoing work that actually changed.

   Example: "After setting up Turborepo's remote cache, our CI build went from 18 minutes to 3 because it only rebuilds the packages that actually changed."
