SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Turborepo provides a scalable, fast orchestration layer for multi-package workspaces, solving slow, duplicated builds and tangled dependencies by caching task outputs and graph-based execution across apps and libraries.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Centralized task orchestration across monorepos with per-package caching
  • Dependency-aware build pipelines that speed up CI and local development
  • Support for turbo.json configurations, package configurations, and advanced workflows (transit nodes, --affected, --filter)
  • Use cases include coordinating builds for apps and libraries, optimizing PR pipelines, and enabling scalable monorepo practices.

Quick Start

Run a minimal Turborepo workflow to build all packages and observe caching and parallelization.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure caching for monorepo builds to stop running duplicate tasks?

Monorepo caching is configured by defining task outputs and dependencies in a root turbo.json file. This setup enables cache-aware task orchestration, skipping redundant work across apps and libraries during local development and CI pipelines.

What is dependency-aware task orchestration in a multi-package workspace?

Dependency-aware task orchestration uses a build graph to execute tasks in the correct order across multi-package workspaces. By mapping package relationships, it parallelizes safe execution and caches outputs to speed up both local development and CI pipelines.

How do I set up a turbo.json file for monorepo CI pipelines?

Set up turbo.json by defining tasks, their dependencies, and cache outputs for your monorepo packages. This configures the orchestration layer to coordinate builds, apply caching semantics, and optimize PR validation pipelines across your apps and libraries.

Can I filter tasks to run only affected packages in a monorepo?

Yes, you can filter tasks to run only affected packages using advanced workflow flags like --filter and --affected. This targets specific transit nodes in the dependency graph, optimizing CI pipelines by skipping unchanged apps and libraries.

What is the best way to manage package configurations for scalable monorepo builds?

Scalable monorepo builds are managed by combining a centralized turbo.json file with per-package task configurations. This approach handles tangled dependencies and applies proper caching semantics across apps and libraries without duplicating builds.
