In large monorepos, the Beachball sync process can be time-consuming due to the high number of packages. To optimize performance, you can override the default concurrency (typically 2 or 5) by setting the NPM_CONCURRENCY environment variable to a value that best suits your needs.
Beachball does not have a public API beyond the provided options. Usage of private APIs is not supported and may break at any time.
If you need to customize something beyond what's currently supported in the options, please open a feature request or talk with the maintainers.
