After months of beta testing, Turbopack is officially stable in Next.js 15.1. Here's what you need to know.

Turbopack delivers dramatically faster development server startup times compared to Webpack. In our testing, a large application that took 30 seconds to start now boots in under 3 seconds.

## Improved HMR

Hot Module Replacement is now nearly instantaneous, even in large codebases. Changes are reflected in the browser in milliseconds.

## Migration Guide

To enable Turbopack, update your dev script:
