#turbopack

Tobias Koppers introduces TurboPack and TurboEngine, addressing the limitations of Webpack. He demonstrates live coding to showcase the optimization of cache validation and build efficiency. The talk covers adding logging and memorization, optimizing execution and tracking dependencies, implementing invalidation and watcher, and storing and deleting invalidators. It also discusses incremental compilation, integration with other monorepo tools, error display, and the possibility of a plugin system for Toolpag. Lastly, the comparison with Bunn's Builder is mentioned.

The Talk discusses TurboPack, a successor to Webpack, aiming to create a framework-independent, flexible, and extensible tool for the open-source community. It addresses performance challenges by integrating SWC into Next.js. The challenges with Next.js and Webpack include orchestration issues, backward compatibility constraints, and cache invalidation problems. TurboEngine and TurboPack provide constant performance in incremental builds, leveraging Rust's predictable performance and parallelism. The Talk also covers topics like dependency tracking, task graphs, cache invalidation, lazy asset graphs, and the integration of TurboPack with Next.js. The future plans involve reconfiguring Webpack and TurboEngine, moving computations to the cloud, providing insights into builds, and facilitating migration and integration with JavaScript projects.

The Turboverse focuses on making the development process faster and more efficient. TurboPak is an incremental bundler with function-level caching, and TurboRepo is a high-performance build system with features like incremental building, remote caching, and parallel execution. TurboRepo can optimize task runners, set up monorepos, and speed up development time. vclink-repo enables seamless integration with the Vercel remote cache, and Conformance and Codoners provide static analysis and automated code reviews. TurboPak and TurboRepo offer faster CI processes and exciting advancements in web bundling.
