Why I Use Turborepo for Modern Development
When you’re juggling multiple apps, packages, and shared utilities, your repo can quickly turn into a spaghetti mess. That’s where Turborepo steps in — a high-performance build system for JavaScript and TypeScript monorepos.
Speed That Actually Feels Fast
Turborepo uses smart caching to avoid re-building code that hasn’t changed. The first build might take a moment, but every build after that feels almost instant — even across your entire repo.
Perfect for Monorepos
Whether you have one app and a few packages or a complex multi-project setup, Turborepo makes it easy to:
Share code between apps
Keep dependencies consistent
Manage builds, tests, and linting in one place
Remote Caching = Team Superpowers
With remote caching, your CI/CD pipeline and teammates can share build results. That means if someone already built the code you need, you don’t have to do it again. Less waiting, more coding.
My Main Reasons
Consistency — One unified structure for all projects
Scalability — Easy to add more apps or packages without chaos
Developer Happiness — No more “works on my machine” headaches
If your repo is growing beyond a single app, Turborepo isn’t just nice to have — it’s the sanity-saving upgrade your workflow needs.
