As I started reading the news this morning, a TechCrunch article with very big news about my youngest son’s company was at the top of my news feed. It’s a “proud dad moment” I wanted to share with you.
Vercel, the front-end development platform from the team behind Next.js, today announced that it has acquired Turborepo, a high-performance build system for JavaScript and TypeScript monorepos. Turborepo founder Jared Palmer will join Vercel to lead its build performance team.
If you’re wondering what a build system is, you’re not alone. This is a highly technical B2B acquisition. Basically, the combination of Turborepo with Vercel gives developers the ability to deploy at a speed and scale that was previously only available to giant tech companies.
