Turbopack: DX Matters
summary
Turbopack is a new Rust-built bundler with a reactive incremental first engine (Turbo Engine) that aims to make incremental builds independent of app size, achieve sub‑second HMR on large apps, and use persistent/remote caching plus multicore parallelism. It replaces deep Webpack bookkeeping with an implicit, lazy-by-default graph, offers JS and Rust plugin APIs, and prototypes show orders-of-magnitude incremental speedups; remaining costs include Rust compile time, memory for million-node graphs, and platform-specific binary builds.
