SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Turborepo provides a centralized, efficient way to orchestrate tasks, caching, and pipelines across a multi-package codebase, reducing build times and CI complexity.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates per-package tasks in a monorepo, enabling parallel execution and predictable caching.
  • Supports root and package-level configurations to optimize build pipelines, caching strategies, and environment handling.
  • Ideal for teams managing apps and libraries within a single repository, including CI workflows and multi-package deployments.

Quick Start

Create per-package tasks in each package.json and configure root turbo.json to enable parallel, cached builds.

FAQPage Schema
How do I speed up monorepo builds with task caching and parallel execution?

Monorepo build speed improves by configuring task orchestration with cached outputs and parallel execution. You define per-package tasks in package.json files and manage dependencies through a root turbo.json file.

What is turbo.json used for in a multi-package repository?

turbo.json is used to configure task orchestration for multi-package repositories by defining dependencies, inputs, and outputs for caching. Both root and package-level overrides are supported to optimize complex task graphs.

How do I skip redundant tasks in CI pipelines using cached outputs?

Redundant CI pipeline tasks are skipped by defining inputs and outputs in your task configuration to enable caching. When inputs match a previous run, the cached outputs are restored directly instead of rebuilding.

Can I run tasks for specific packages only in a monorepo?

Yes, specific packages in a monorepo can be targeted using filter-based package selection. This allows you to run tasks exclusively on filtered packages and their dependencies within the repository.

How does environment variable handling work with cached monorepo tasks?

Environment variable handling ensures cached monorepo tasks remain deterministic by linking cache hits to specific environment values. Configuring environment inputs correctly prevents stale caches when variables change.
