turborepo vs. Vercel

Per-engineer ETV for turborepo against Vercel as a whole. Both lines are 90-day rolling averages scaled to a 30-day month, so they share one axis and can be read against each other at any point. Pick a window to zoom the chart to it.

Performance over time

ETV stacked by Features / Maintenance / Tests / Docs / Fixes — 90-day moving average, normalized to ETV / month.

Engineering capacity

Effective engineers behind turborepo, in pre-AI terms. Per-engineer ETV divided by the Q1 2025 baseline of 0.86 ETV / dev / mo gives a capacity multiple, and that multiple applied to the engineers active in the trailing 90 days turns it into engineer-equivalents. The line is the real headcount, so the gap between line and area is what the leverage is worth.
