SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Turborepo provides a scalable approach to managing monorepos by orchestrating tasks, caching, and executing builds across apps and packages, reducing redundant work and speeding up CI.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Per-package tasks and package configurations to enable parallelization and fine-grained caching
  • Centralized root and package turbo.json workflows with consistent task definitions
  • Support for remote caching, environment variables, and advanced filtering/patterns for CI
  • Use cases include building, linting, testing, type-checking across a multi-package repo and optimizing PR workflows

Quick Start

Create per-package scripts and root turbo.json entries to orchestrate builds across apps and packages.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure turbo.json to orchestrate monorepo builds and caching?

To configure monorepo builds and caching, create a root turbo.json file to define task pipelines, outputs, and dependsOn patterns alongside per-package scripts. This setup enables parallelization and fine-grained caching across packages, reducing redundant CI work and accelerating build execution.

What is the best way to speed up CI pipelines in a multi-package repo?

The best way to speed up CI pipelines is by enabling remote caching and task parallelization across your monorepo. By defining task dependencies and caching outputs in turbo.json, previously built artifacts are reused, skipping redundant work and optimizing PR workflows.

How does remote caching work for monorepo task execution?

Remote caching for monorepo task execution stores build outputs and cached results externally, allowing multiple machines and CI runs to share them. By configuring environment variables and caching strategies in turbo.json, identical tasks are skipped and outputs are fetched directly.

Can I use dependsOn patterns for package-focused tasks in a monorepo?

Yes, you can use dependsOn patterns for package-focused tasks by defining them in your turbo.json configuration. This allows you to establish precise task pipelines, ensuring that dependent builds, linting, and type-checking run in the correct order across all packages.

Does Turborepo support per-package configurations and environment variable handling?

Yes, Turborepo supports per-package configurations and environment variable handling. You can define specific scripts in individual packages and manage environment inputs at the root level to ensure accurate cache hashing and consistent task execution across your monorepo.

When do I need to define task pipelines for linting and type-checking across packages?

You need to define task pipelines for linting and type-checking when managing a multi-package repo to ensure code quality across all projects. Configuring these tasks in turbo.json allows them to run in parallel with proper caching, skipping unchanged packages and optimizing CI.
