Build a production-grade developer platform in one command
npm install turbolab> Build a production‑grade developer platform in one command.
TurboLab is a pnpm‑native platform CLI that bootstraps a full turborepo setup with database, infra, workspace tooling, and developer experience pre‑wired.
It’s not a starter template. It’s a platform initializer.

🧠 Philosophy
TurboLab follows a simple rule:
> Don’t generate projects — generate platforms.
Instead of scaffolding files, TurboLab builds:
- systems
- workflows
- infra foundations
- scalable architecture
- real production structures

? Enter your DATABASE_URL
`This ensures:
- real infra
- real connectivity
- real production behavior
- no fake defaults
- no broken installs
