# Elastic build machines now use Turborepo cache hits to prevent downgrades

By Steven Van · 2026-08-24

Elastic build machines now consider Turborepo cache hits when deciding whether to use a smaller build machine.

[Vercel](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/vercel>)'s Elastic build machines now factor in Turborepo cache hits when deciding whether to switch a build to a smaller machine. A warm-cache build, which can run on less CPU and memory, no longer triggers a downgrade on that basis alone: doing so had risked leaving a later cold-cache build without enough resources to complete. The change applies automatically to all builds on Elastic build machines, with no action required.
