SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Turborepo orchestrates complex monorepo tasks, enabling fast, deterministic builds by caching task outputs and parallelizing work across packages.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Deterministic task orchestration: Define task order with dependsOn, inputs, and outputs across packages.
  • Incremental builds via caching: Cache outputs to accelerate subsequent runs, with optional remote caching for CI.
  • Package-scoped configuration: Use per-package turbo.json while root scripts delegate to turbo run to maximize parallelism.
  • CI/PR optimization: Run affected tasks and leverage filtering to minimize work in CI pipelines.

Quick Start

  • If you already have a monorepo, add a root turbo.json and per-package turbo.json, then run a sample task such as turbo run build --affected to see caching and parallelism in action.

Frequently Asked Questions about turborepo

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

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

Monorepo builds are accelerated by defining task graphs with inputs and outputs, enabling local and remote caching to skip redundant work, and parallelizing package execution across available cores.

What is the best way to configure task dependencies in a monorepo?

Task dependencies are configured using per-package turbo.json files where you define dependsOn relationships, inputs, and outputs to create a deterministic task graph for orchestrated execution.

How do I run affected builds to optimize CI pipelines in a monorepo?

Affected builds are triggered using filtering flags like --affected with turbo run, ensuring CI pipelines only execute tasks for packages impacted by recent changes rather than rebuilding the entire workspace.

Can I share code between apps while maintaining clear package boundaries?

Code sharing across apps is supported through monorepo package boundaries, with best practices enforced by defining strict dependencies and inputs in turbo.json to prevent cross-package coupling.

Does Turborepo require remote caching to optimize CI workflows?

Remote caching is optional for CI optimization. Turborepo uses local caching by default to accelerate subsequent runs, while remote caching can be enabled to share outputs across CI pipelines and team members.

Why do I need a root turbo.json and per-package configurations?

Root turbo.json manages global task orchestration while per-package turbo.json files define scoped inputs, outputs, and dependencies, allowing root scripts to delegate to turbo run and maximize parallelism.
