SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Turborepo accelerates JavaScript/TypeScript monorepos by caching tasks, orchestrating pipelines, and enabling remote caches across teams.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Monorepo Architecture & Workspaces: Root config, apps/packages
  • Task Pipelines: Dependency graph, topological order
  • Caching: Local/Remote cache, content hashing
  • Outputs & Env: Outputs, global env, pass-through env
  • CI/CD Integration: Turbo in pipelines

Quick Start

Install Turborepo globally or per-project, then run turbo run build.

FAQPage Schema
How do I speed up builds in a JavaScript monorepo?

Turborepo accelerates monorepo builds through intelligent task caching and orchestration. It runs tasks in dependency order, caches results locally or remotely, and skips redundant work across packages, cutting build times significantly.

Can I use Turborepo to replace Lerna or Nx in my existing monorepo?

Yes, Turborepo supports migration from Lerna, Nx, and other monorepo tools. It provides dependency-aware task orchestration and caching strategies to coordinate builds across multiple packages with minimal configuration changes.

How does task caching work in monorepos?

Turborepo uses content-based hashing to cache task outputs like build artifacts, test results, and type definitions. It skips re-running tasks when inputs haven't changed, using local cache by default and optionally sharing cached results across team members via remote cache.

What's the best way to set up CI/CD pipelines for monorepos?

Turborepo integrates directly into CI/CD workflows, enabling remote caching so pipelines run only changed packages. Configure task pipelines in turbo.json, specify cacheable outputs, and connect to remote cache for faster, coordinated builds across your entire monorepo.

Do I need to configure each package separately in a monorepo?

No. Turborepo uses a root turbo.json to define task pipelines and caching rules for all packages, eliminating per-package setup. It automatically discovers workspace dependencies and runs tasks in topological order based on your explicit pipeline graph.
