VisitLerna vs Turborepo
What both publish
| Fact | Lerna | Turborepo |
|---|---|---|
| Caching | Lerna restores previously executed task files and terminal output from its computation cache instead of rerunning tasks. | Turborepo caches task outputs and logs locally, and can share cache artifacts across machines through Remote Caching. |
| Package managers | Lerna supports npm, yarn, pnpm, and bun as configured package managers. | The support policy lists pnpm 8+, npm 8+, Yarn 1+ including Plug’n’Play, and Bun 1.2+ as stable. |
| Security | Nx Cloud stores hashed task inputs and cached results rather than actual code, supports end-to-end encryption, and offers self-hosted deployment through Enterprise. | Turborepo can sign remote cache artifacts with HMAC-SHA256 and verify their integrity and authenticity when downloaded. |
| Support | The Nx Cloud Hobby plan includes community support, while the Team plan includes email support and Enterprise includes dedicated support and SLAs. | Individual developers can seek free help in GitHub Discussions or Vercel Community; companies can contact Vercel about paid support. |
