SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Turborepo coordinates and speeds up complex monorepo task orchestration, enabling per-package tasks, caching, and dependency-aware builds across apps and libraries.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Per-package task execution with isolated caching to maximize parallelism
  • Dependency-aware task graph using dependsOn patterns (^build, pkg#task, ...) for deterministic builds
  • CI and hosting-friendly optimization via --affected, remote caching, and package configurations

Quick Start

Start by adding per-package scripts and a root turbo.json to orchestrate builds, then run turbo run <task> to execute.

FAQPage Schema
How do I optimize monorepo builds for parallel task execution?

Optimize monorepo builds by defining per-package task definitions and a root configuration file. This enables isolated caching and dependency-aware task graphs to maximize parallel execution across apps and libraries.

What is the best way to configure dependency-aware builds in a monorepo?

Configure dependency-aware builds using dependsOn patterns like ^build or pkg#task within your root task configuration. This establishes deterministic task graphs ensuring upstream package builds complete before downstream tasks run.

How does remote caching improve monorepo CI pipelines?

Remote caching accelerates monorepo CI pipelines by storing and reusing cached task outputs across different machines. Combined with --affected flags, it skips unchanged package tasks to deliver faster, scalable continuous integration.

Can I use Turborepo for multi-package projects requiring isolated caching?

Yes, Turborepo supports multi-package projects by applying per-package task execution with isolated caching. It coordinates dependency graphs and environment variables to deliver deterministic, scalable builds across packages.

Why does a monorepo task orchestration cache miss occur unexpectedly?

Monorepo task cache misses occur when specified inputs and environment variables change unexpectedly. To prevent this, strictly define inputs, outputs, and env patterns in your package configurations to ensure deterministic cache hits.

Do I need a turbo.json file to orchestrate monorepo task workflows?

Yes, a root turbo.json file is required to orchestrate monorepo task workflows. You add per-package scripts and this root configuration to define task dependencies before executing tasks via the run command.
