Turbopack

Turbopack is Vercel's bespoke Rust-based bundler built into Next.js. The target-platform-coupling cost Turbopack incurs — "if you want to deploy it to Cloudflare, Netlify, or AWS Lambda, you have to take that build output and reshape it into something the target platform can actually run" — is what motivated OpenNext (adapter over Turbopack output) and, later, vinext (clean reimplementation on Vite).

Benchmark baseline in the 2026-02-24 post

Next.js 16.1.6 + Turbopack is the 7.38 s baseline on the 33-route App Router fixture that vinext beats at 1.6× (Rollup) and 4.4× (Rolldown). Bundle size baseline 168.9 KB gzipped.
