Acknowledgements
Turborepo was originally created by Jared Palmer as a closed-source enterprise software offering. In late 2021, Vercel acquired Turborepo and open sourced the codebase.
Today, Turborepo has dedicated full-time team working on it as well as a growing list of open source contributors.
