SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Turborepo monorepo guidance helps teams orchestrate tasks, caching, and pipelines across apps and packages, reducing duplication and speeding builds.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Centralized task configuration with per-package tasks and root configurations
  • Efficient caching, parallel execution, and filtered runs for CI optimization
  • Guidance on package configurations, boundaries, and monorepo structure

Quick Start

Configure per-package tasks and a root turbo.json to orchestrate builds and then run turbo run build to start a coordinated workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions about turborepo

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure Turborepo tasks across monorepo apps and packages?

Turborepo task configuration uses a root turbo.json file to define per-package tasks with dependsOn, outputs, inputs, and env. This lets you run turbo run build to orchestrate builds across apps and packages in a coordinated workflow.

What is the best way to optimize monorepo builds in CI?

Optimizing monorepo builds in CI uses Turborepo for efficient caching, parallel execution, and filtered runs. This reduces task duplication and speeds up builds by orchestrating workflows across your apps and packages.

How does Turborepo caching work for monorepo task orchestration?

Turborepo caching stores and reuses the outputs of monorepo tasks based on their configured inputs and env variables. This task orchestration avoids redundant rebuilds across apps and packages, significantly speeding up workflows.

When do I need root versus package task configurations in a monorepo?

Root task configurations in a monorepo handle centralized orchestration and global settings, while package task configurations define per-package tasks like specific build inputs and outputs. Turborepo uses both to orchestrate workflows properly.

Can I enforce package boundaries and structure with Turborepo?

Turborepo enforces package boundaries and monorepo structure through guidance on package configurations. This maintains proper structure across apps and packages while reducing duplication.

Why is my turbo run command not executing monorepo tasks as expected?

Your turbo run command may fail to execute monorepo tasks if per-package tasks lack proper dependsOn, outputs, or inputs configurations. Ensure your root turbo.json correctly orchestrates tasks across apps and packages.
