Development Tooling
HA Web Studio uses Turborepo to manage larger projects with multiple connected applications, keeping builds fast as a codebase grows.
Turborepo is a build system for managing monorepos, projects that contain multiple related applications or packages (like a website, an admin dashboard, and a shared design system) in a single codebase. It intelligently caches and parallelizes builds, so only the parts of the project that actually changed need to be rebuilt.
At HA Web Studio, we use Turborepo for larger projects with multiple connected applications that need to share code and stay in sync.
For businesses that need more than a single website, a main site, a customer portal, an admin dashboard, keeping these in sync manually is a common source of inconsistency and wasted effort. Turborepo lets us manage them together, sharing design systems and business logic, so a change in one place, updated branding, a shared component, propagates consistently everywhere it's used.
As a project grows, build times can become a real bottleneck for a development team. Turborepo's caching keeps this fast even as the codebase expands, which keeps development costs predictable rather than growing disproportionately with project size.
Turborepo organizes multiple Next.js and React applications within a single repository, managed with pnpm for dependency handling, and deployed independently to Vercel or Render as needed.
Do we need this for a single business website? No, Turborepo's benefits apply specifically to projects with multiple connected applications; a single website doesn't need this complexity.
Will this make our project more expensive? It's a development approach we apply when the project's structure genuinely calls for it, not an added cost layered onto every project.
Can we add more applications to our project later? Yes, this is one of Turborepo's core strengths, it's designed specifically to scale as a codebase adds more connected applications over time.
If your business needs more than one connected application, the right foundation matters. Book a Consultation to discuss your project's structure.
