SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Turborepo monorepo build system guidance. Triggers on: turbo.json, task pipelines, dependsOn, caching, remote cache, the "turbo" CLI, --filter, --affected, CI optimization, environment variables, internal packages, monorepo structure/best practices, and boundaries.

Use when user: configures tasks/workflows/pipelines, creates packages, sets up monorepo, shares code between apps, runs changed/affected packages, debugs cache, or has apps/packages directories.

Core Features & Use Cases

Per-package task configuration with turbo.json inheritance
Intelligent caching and parallel task execution across packages
Guidance to structure monorepos and enforce package boundaries
CI optimization with affected-mode runs and caching strategies

Quick Start

Define per-package tasks in each package, register them in the root turbo.json, and use turbo run to orchestrate builds across apps and packages.

FAQPage Schema

How do I configure monorepo build pipelines with turbo.json?▼

Use the turbo run command to execute task pipelines instead of root scripts. This orchestrates builds across apps and packages, leveraging intelligent caching and parallel task execution defined in your turbo.json.

How does build caching work in a Turborepo monorepo?▼

Build caching in a Turborepo monorepo works by storing task outputs and skipping redundant work across packages. It supports shared caching and remote cache in CI to optimize build times and avoid reprocessing unchanged code.

What is the best way to run only changed or affected packages in CI?▼

The best way to run changed or affected packages in CI is by using affected-mode runs with --filter and --affected flags. This CI optimization strategy skips unaffected packages and leverages caching for faster pipelines.

Do I need to define tasks in the root turbo.json or in each package?▼

You define per-package task configuration in each package, then register them in the root turbo.json. This setup supports turbo.json inheritance, allowing explicit task definitions with dependsOn and outputs across your monorepo structure.

Why should I use turbo run instead of root package.json scripts?▼

You should use turbo run instead of root package.json scripts because it enables intelligent caching, parallel task execution, and proper dependency ordering via dependsOn. Root scripts lack the build orchestration and remote cache capabilities needed for monorepo optimization.

How do I enforce package boundaries when sharing code in a monorepo?▼

Enforce package boundaries when sharing code between apps by following monorepo structure best practices and configuring task pipelines. This ensures internal packages respect defined boundaries and dependencies are managed correctly during builds.
