SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Turborepo provides a centralized way to orchestrate builds, tests, and tooling across a monorepo, delivering faster feedback and consistent caching by tracking dependencies, changes, and task graphs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Task orchestration across multiple packages via root and package configurations.
  • Smart caching that avoids recomputation by hashing inputs, dependencies, and environment.
  • Efficient pipelines using dependsOn, outputs, inputs, env, and filtering with --affected for PRs and CI.

Quick Start

Create a root turbo.json and per-package turbo.jsons, then invoke turbo run on the desired tasks to orchestrate your workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I speed up monorepo builds and task orchestration?

Monorepo task orchestration speeds up builds by tracking inputs, dependencies, and environment variables to apply smart caching. This avoids redundant recomputation across multiple packages and optimizes CI pipelines efficiently.

How do I configure pipeline dependencies for PR validation in a monorepo?

PR validation in a monorepo uses root and package-level turbo.json configurations to define dependsOn relationships and inputs. You can invoke turbo run with --affected filtering to execute tasks only for changed packages.

How does caching work for multi-package repository tasks?

Caching for multi-package repository tasks works by hashing inputs, dependencies, and environment variables. If these factors remain unchanged, the cache is restored directly instead of recomputing build or test outputs.

When should I use task orchestration for my monorepo?

You should use task orchestration for monorepos containing multiple apps and packages when you need to optimize developer iteration, validate pull requests, and scale CI pipelines with consistent caching across coordinated builds and tests.

What is the best way to avoid recomputing builds across dependent packages?

The best way to avoid recomputing builds is to configure outputs and inputs at the package level. By hashing these configurations alongside environment variables, the orchestrator skips redundant tasks and serves cached results directly.
