Software engineers and development teams managing JavaScript or TypeScript monorepos who need fast, efficient builds and CI workflows
About Turborepo
Turborepo is a high-performance build system optimized for JavaScript and TypeScript codebases that dramatically speeds up development and continuous integration by optimizing workflows with parallel task execution, intelligent scheduling, incremental builds, and remote caching so you never do the same work twice. It works with any package manager (npm, yarn, pnpm) and integrates with any CI provider, letting you start a new repository or incrementally migrate an existing one with minimal setup using a single turbo.json configuration that builds on your existing package.json scripts. Turborepo understands the relationships between tasks and packages, runs only affected tasks, and can share cached results across machines and team members, reducing build times significantly. Its core concepts include remote caching, efficient task and package graphs, and support for multiple package types in a monorepo, while guides show how to integrate with favorite frameworks and tooling.

Nx
Trusted by developers, enterprises, and open-source projects. Whether your workspace has a single project or a thousand, Nx will keep your CI fast and your workspace maintainable. Next generation build system with first-class mono repo support and powerful integrations. Nx makes scaling easy. Modern techniques such as distributed task execution and computation caching make sure your CI times remain fast, even as you keep adding projects to your workspace. It can figure out whether the same computation has run before and can restore the files and the terminal output from its cache. Smart, automated, dynamic distribution of tasks across multiple machines to get maximum parallelization and CPU-efficient CI runs. Share your local computation cache with teammates and your CI system for maximum efficiency. Nothing is faster than not running a task. Nx analyzes your project graph and can differentiate it against a baseline to determine which projects changed.

FASTBuild
FASTBuild is a high-performance, open-source build system for Windows, Linux and OS X. It supports highly scalable compilation, caching and network distribution. From the largest studios in the world to the smallest independent developers, FASTBuild is used in production every day to develop for PC/Mac/Linux, Consoles, Smartphones and retro systems. FASTBuild gives you all the tools you need to speed up your builds, allowing for improvements of 10x or more over other build systems. FASTBuild was designed from the ground up to support parallel compilation. The highly optimized main build pipeline is designed to be as thin as possible, dispatching build tasks to worker threads to maximize parallelism. FASTBuild has no artificial dependency bottlenecks like those present when compiling with Visual Studio/MSBuild. Unlike Visual Studio, FASTBuild is able to precisely manage the number of CPU cores used during a build avoiding excessive idle spots or excessive context switching.

Yarn
Yarn is a package manager which doubles down as project manager. Whether you work on one-shot projects or large monorepos, as a hobbyist or an enterprise user, we've got you covered. Split your project into sub-components kept within a single repository. Yarn guarantees that an install that works now will continue to work the same way in the future. Yarn cannot solve all your problems, but it can be the foundation for others to do it. We believe in challenging the status quo. What should the ideal developer experience be like? Yarn is an independent open-source project tied to no company. Your support makes us thrive. Yarn already knows everything there is to know about your dependency tree, it even installs it on the disk for you. So, why is it up to Node to find where your packages are? Instead, it should be the package manager's job to inform the interpreter about the location of the packages on the disk and manage any dependencies between packages and even versions of packages.
